For years the Seahawks running game has been a model of consistency under coach Pete Carroll’s watch. Marshawn Lynch wow’d fans, coaches and opponents for the better part of six years as he rushed his way to legend status in the Pacific Northwest.
Last year, Lynch went down with an injury leaving a “Beast Mode” sized void in the offense. Enter Thomas Rawls: The Undrafted Rookie Free Agent burst on to the scene in 2015 to help Seattle maintain its ground game dominance. Just as Rawls was coming into his own and helping the Hawks reestablish their identity, the young running back went down with an injury of his own.
