In 2018 the Seattle Seahawks surprised a whole lot of fans and observers alike when after trading down in the first round the team selected running back Rashaad Penny out of San Diego State University. The move came the season after the failed Eddie Lacy experiment in Seattle, and Penny’s time with the Hawks saw him suffer a myriad of different injuries which limited his playing time and production.
Then, late in the 2021 season Penny showed the NFL world what he could do, leading to a one year contract with the Seahawks in free agency last offseason.
