The running back position is a topic of contention surrounding the Seattle Seahawks. It’s a position that’s extremely important to Pete Carroll and the team - something that was reaffirmed in Carroll’s end of season press conference - as well as being a position they address in the draft often. However, running the football isn’t something they’ve done well in recent seasons, and it regularly set the offense back in 2017. Regardless of the perceived (lack of) value of running backs in the modern NFL, Seattle has a very clear model in regards to what they target at the position.
