Seahawks Eyeing Speedster Washington

0:00On April 4th, Seattle Seahawks are shaking up their backfield after losing Kenneth Walker III to the Kansas City Chiefs in Free Agency. They drafted him in the second round back in 2022, and even helped snag a Super Bowl before bouncing. Now their running backroom looks shaky heading into the 2026 season, with Zack Sharpenay nursing an ACL tear from the playoffs that could sideline him for weeks. They signed Emmanuel Wilson in Free Agency, but nobody on the roster screams lead back right now. Enter Arkansas standout, Mike Washington, a 6 foot 1, 223 pound beast with elite wheels, he blazed a 4.33. 40 yard dash at the combine, including a 1.5 110 yard split. Fans and scouts are buzzing about his potential, but there's a big red flag he fumbled the ball 10 times in college. That kind of ball security issue could bench him quick in the pros, no matter how explosive he is physically. Word is, the Seahawks are hosting him for a 30 visit, joining his stops with the Falcons, Buccaneers, and Packers.

1:06He balled out last year with out in 70 rushing yards at 6.4 yards per carry, and 8 touchdowns over his final two college. Seasons, NFL.com even compares him to former Seahawks Chris Carson, but with way more speed. If Seattle grabs Washington in the second or third round, like they did Walker and Charvagne, he could be their weak one starter and fix that thin. Room fast. Keep an eye on draft season.
