From the Daily News Now Network, this is NFL News Today. Subscribe to Keep Up With Every Headline, Every Game. The Seattle Seahawks dominated on the ground last season, with a powerful rushing attack led by Kenneth Walker III. He racked up 1027 yards in five touchdowns, while Zack Sharvanay added 730 yards in 12 scores. That duo helped carry them to a Super Bowl win. The tragedy struck in the playoffs when Sharvanay tore his ACL, leaving Walker to shoulder most of the load. Walker stepped up big time, earning Super Bowl MVP honors for his efforts. Now heading into free agency, Walker's stock has skyrocketed, and the Seahawks chose not to use the franchise tag on him. That means he might not return to Seattle, putting the team in a tough spot and running back next year. One smart option on the market could be Rico Doudo from the Carolina Panthers. But see him as a perfect fit to step in and compete right away, especially with Sharvanay's sideline until late in the season.

Doudo's journey is inspiring. He went from undrafted free agent with the Cowboys to back-to-back 1,000 yard seasons, including 1,000. 76 yards and six touchdowns last year with Carolina. He's a veteran powerback comfortable in a committee, making him ideal for Seattle, without breaking the bank. A quick thank you to our sponsor of today's episode. Press play. Put your head down.
