The Seattle Seahawks leaned heavily on their run game in 2025 and it paid off in a big way.

The duo of Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet helped the Seahawks finish with the No. 10 rushing offense in the NFL averaging 123.3 yard per game. Charbonnet went down in the divisional round of the playoffs with a torn ACL, but Walker picked up the load, ultimately winning Super Bowl MVP.

While Charbonnet had a solid season as the No. 2 running back in Seattle with 730 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns, Walker was the biggest threat out of the backfield and thrived as both a runner and pass-catcher in 2025.

In the regular season, Walker finished with 1,032 rushing yards and five touchdowns while adding another 282 yards as a receiver.

After the Super Bowl victory, the Seahawks made the decision to let Walker hit free agency and he quickly reached a deal with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Charbonnet likely won’t be ready to start the 2026 NFL season as he continues to rehab from injury, and suddenly the Seahawks have a massive void on their offense.

Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton recently challenged Dolphins’ GM Jon-Eric Sullivan’s claim that Miami won’t trade star running back De’Von Achane.
