Seahawks called a great fit for Jadarian Price despite one big problem

While that's reason to get excited about Price in his rookie season, there is still one big issue, beyond Price's playing time, that is cause for concern: his receiving ability.

Jadarian Price has a big receiving concern

The Seahawks don't need Price to be an every-down running back, but they will need him to factor into the offense in more than just the running game.

Pass protection is a big issue, and something the Seahawks will have to hope Price can be good at right away. But, beyond pass protection, Price also will need to prove he's a capable receiver.

Across three seasons at the college level, Price only caught 15 passes for 162 yards and three touchdowns. This past season, he caught six passes for 87 yards and two touchdowns.

To truly be a great fit in the Seahawks offense, Price will need to display some receiving upside. If his college production is a sign of things to come, it might be a bit worse of a fit than previously anticipated.

The running game should be a good fit for Price, but Seattle needs him to be more than just a runner, especially since they used a first-round pick on him.

Until he showcases receiving ability, there will be concerns about Price's fit with the Seahawks offense this upcoming season.
