ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler said he gets the sense that Seahawks rookie RB Jadarian Price “won’t have to be a bell cow right away.”

Fowler talked to league executives, coaches, and scouts about every team’s haul of rookies from the draft, so this may not come directly from the Seahawks. Still, it means that at least some people around the league don’t think Price will be a three-down back early in the year. Price struggled in pass protection and only caught 15 passes over three years at Notre Dame. He’s an explosive runner between the tackles, but his limitations are readily apparent on passing downs. Price will likely split work with George Holani out of the gates, making him more of an RB3 for Week 1.
