The Seattle Seahawks selected Jadarian Price, a running back from Notre Dame, with the No. 32 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, adding one of the fastest and most explosive backs in the class.
Price gives Seattle a 5-foot-10 5/8, 203-pound runner who clocked an official 4.50-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, according to NFL.com’s prospect profile. He also brings special teams value after making a major impact as a kickoff returner at Notre Dame.
Notre Dame listed Price as a junior running back from Denison, Texas, while ESPN listed him at 5-foot-11 and 209 pounds during his college career. NFL.com’s combine profile measured him at 5-foot-10 5/8 and 203 pounds.

Price had been connected to Seattle throughout the pre-draft process, and the fit was not difficult to see.
The Seahawks’ own draft preview ranked Price as the No. 2 running back in the class and described him as an instinctive runner with rare feel, subtle changes of pace and direction. The team site also framed him as a potential first- or second-round back.
That matters because Price is not just a straight-line speed pick. His 4.50-second 40 time helps, but his best selling point is how quickly he finds space and creates efficient gains. For Seattle, that gives the offense another back who can threaten defenses without needing everything blocked perfectly.
Price also fits a Seahawks roster that had been heavily linked to running back help before the draft. Seahawks.com’s Rob Rang wrote in an offensive-only mock draft that Price looked like a “hand-in-glove fit” for Seattle because of his vision, burst and balance in a wide-zone offense.
