Seahawks' Jadarian Price has sneaky path to Offensive Rookie of the Year award

While Love might be the top running back around the NFL from this year's rookie class, Price might have the better odds to win the OROY award thanks to a far better situation.

Price will be the Seahawks' starting running back and only needs to compete with George Holani and Emmanuel Wilson for touches to begin the year while Charbonnet is out.

If he can get 15-20 touches per-game, with some receiving work and plenty of rushing attempts, the Seahawks running back might be in store for a massive rookie season.

While he didn't get a ton of volume at Notre Dame behind Love, Price still ran for 674 yards and 11 touchdowns while going for 87 yards and two touchdowns in the receiving game.

Seattle will be giving Price plenty of work, as they need to make their first-round pick worth it. Combined with a good situation on a great team that should be leading, and with a lot of focus on Jaxon Smith-Njigba and the receivers, Price could have a sneakily good season.

Solak believes Price has a decent chance to win the Offensive Rookie of the Year award this season, ranking him as the fourth-most likely player behind Love, Fernando Mendoza, and Carnell Tate.
