When the Seattle Seahawks made their second pick of the second round in the 2023 NFL Draft, they surprised many fans and observers by selecting running back Zach Charbonnet out of UCLA. A big part of the surprise for many regarding the pick was the fact that the Hawks already had 2022 second round pick Ken Walker at running back, but it never hurts to have depth at the most injury prone position in the NFL.
Fast forward to what is effectively the midpoint of the 2023 season, while Walker continues to be tasked with the bulk of the opportunities to carry the football, Charbonnet was on the field for more offensive snaps than Walker in the Week 10 win over the Washington Commanders.
