Seahawks' Backfield: Schneider's Draft & Free Agency Plan

0:00On March 21st, Seattle Seahawks fans are feeling the heat over their running back depth, especially with Kenneth Walker III potentially leaving. A big gap in 2026.

High IQ players ready to level up the passing game right away. As free agency and the draft loom, Schneider's radar is locked on these fits to rebuild a
