Seahawks Lose MVP, Need New RB

0:00On March 31, Kenneth Walker III just bounced from the Seattle Seahawks after snagging Super Bowl MVP honors as their star running back. The dude was a second-round pick in the 2022 draft out of Michigan State, putting up 1,000 rushing yards in two of his four seasons there. Now he's headed to the Kansas City Chiefs in free agency, leaving a big hole in Seattle's backfield. The Seahawks are looking at Zach Scharbeney to step up next season. He racked up 7-30 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns last year, but a torn ACL in February means surgery and an unclear return for. 2026. So far, they've only added a manual Wilson this off season, keeping their options pretty thin. Fans and analysts are feeling the sting, because top free agents are off the board already. Walker's departure hits hard after his MVP run, and with Scharbeney sidelined, Seattle's ground game could struggle without fresh legs. It's got everyone buzzing about how they'll rebuild that rush attack.

1:03ESPN's Matt Miller is calling for the Seahawks to grab Arkansas running back, Mike Washington Jr. at pick number 64 in the 2000. 26 draft. The kid exploded for 1,070 yards in eight touchdowns last season, plus he caught 28 passes for 226 yards. And a score. Dudes, a beast in the passing game too. Washington lit up the combine with a 4.340 yard dash, the fastest for any back, top split times, and elite jumps. He could pair perfect with Scharbeney once he's back, filling Walker's void and keeping Seattle's offense rolling strong.
