I am not trying to pooh-pooh the list of running backs the Seahawks have had over the years. There have been many who have been very good. Mainly, though, the Seahawks have tried to have one featured back in different seasons over their 41 years. Especially since Pete Carroll became the coach. Has Seattle had some decent depth in recent years? Yes. But those backs only played many snaps because the number-one back was injured. For instance, Thomas Rawls had a productive year in 2015 only after Marshawn Lynch missed games because of injury.
There are some current Seahawks who rank in the top 20 of rushing yards in Seattle’s history.
