PHILADELPHIA — Rashaad Penny is one of the most controversial first-round picks in recent Seahawks history.
But just why the Seahawks wanted to take him where they did — with the 27th overall pick in 2018 — became evident during Sunday’s 17-9 win over the Eagles on Sunday.
The second-year tailback out of San Diego State had a 26-yard run to set up a field goal in the first half and then a 58-yard touchdown run that gave Seattle a two-touchdown lead.
The win means the Seahawks are 9-2 for just the fourth time in a franchise history that dates to 1976.
