Notre Dame running backs Jadarian Price and Jeremiyah Love made history as the first pair from the same college to be selected in the first round of the NFL Draft since the AFL-NFL merger in 1966. Price was chosen by the Seattle Seahawks as the 32nd overall pick, following Love's selection at third overall by the Arizona Cardinals. Price's selection comes after Kenneth Walker III's exit from the Seahawks, allowing them to fill the running back position at a fraction of the cost. Price had a standout college career, showcasing significant yardage and touchdown numbers while also excelling in special teams as a top kick returner.

By the Numbers
  • Price recorded 674 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns with an average of 6 yards per carry.
  • He led the FBS with an average of 37.5 yards per kick return and scored two touchdowns.
State of Play
  • The Seahawks aim to fill the void left by Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III after his departure in free agency.
  • Price's contract is projected to be around $16.8 million over four years, providing substantial financial relief compared to Walker's $45 million deal with the Chiefs.
What's Next

Expect Price to integrate into the Seahawks' offensive scheme alongside Zach Charbonnet, while potentially making an immediate impact on special teams. His college performance suggests readiness to contribute in multiple roles right away.

Bottom Line

Notre Dame's unprecedented achievement highlights the university's strong running back program while positioning Price as a valuable asset for the Seahawks, balancing cost-effectiveness with on-field talent.
