Can the Seahawks Find Their Next Elite RB in This Draft?

How does the Seahawks running back room look heading into the 2026 NFL Draft? We discuss whether the current group has enough in the way of "special" traits and annoyances of college film and highlight reels. The conversation narrows to what matters most on tape—contact balance, burst through the line, turning dead plays into gains, and using hands to defeat tackles—before landing on a shared Day 2 favorite: Nebraska's Emmett Johnson. Johnson is praised for start-stop ability, lateral quickness, and making blocking look better than it is. Jonah Coleman earns strong support as another option, while "long speed" gets downplayed in favor of short-area burst and playmaking. Late-round sleepers surface with Wake Forest's Damond Claiborne and Oregon's Noah Whittington, plus quick hits on other backs and ball security.
