Price walks into camp carrying Kenneth Walker's shadow
The job is open. The shoes are enormous. And the rookie showing up Friday has maybe one preseason to prove he belongs in them.
Jadarian Price was Seattle's first pick in this year's draft — a signal of how seriously the Seattle Seahawks take rebuilding their backfield. Kenneth Walker III won Super Bowl MVP. That is the measuring stick now sitting in Price's locker, whether anyone says so out loud or not.
Price reports to training camp this week as the most visible piece of Seattle's answer to a real question: who carries the ball when the guy who carried it best is gone? First-round picks come with expectations baked in. A backfield shaped around a Super Bowl MVP carries even more.
This is the start of the answer, not the answer itself. Camps are long. Depth charts shift. But Price's first day matters — because in Seattle right now, every rep is being measured against someone who just won the biggest game there is.
