Seahawks RB Jadarian Price predicted to lead rookies in scrimmage TDs

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Jadarian Price is expected to lead NFL rookies in scrimmage touchdowns next season, according to projections by ESPN’s Mike Clay. Price, the second running back selected in the 2026 NFL Draft, will join the Seahawks after injuries to Zach Charbonnet and the departure of Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III. The team aims to capitalize on Price’s potential in an offense that ranked seventh in total touchdowns (51) and seventh in rushing touchdowns (19) in 2025. Price is projected to tie Arizona Cardinals rookie Jeremiyah Love for the most scrimmage touchdowns among rookies, with nine each. Seattle’s offense generated significant scoring opportunities last season, though quarterback Sam Darnold failed to target his primary running backs for passing touchdowns. Price’s role will likely expand in 2026, giving him a chance to contribute early in his career. The Seahawks’ rushing attack thrived despite limited production from their top backs, suggesting Price could thrive in a similar environment. With a strong offensive system and high expectations, Price’s development will be closely watched as he competes for touches alongside potential teammates from the 2026 draft class. His success could depend on how quickly he adapts to the NFL’s physical demands and Seattle’s play-calling strategies.
