The Seattle Seahawks selected another running back in the second round of the NFL draft this year, Zach Charbonnet out of UCLA. Coach Pete Carroll sees him contributing immediately to the rotation.
“He’s going to be right in there with Ken (Walker III), ” Carroll told reporters over the weekend. “It’s going to take both guys to get the workload with some help from DeeJay (Dallas). I really like the versatility like we are talking about because he can block, can catch the ball out of the backfield, he’s good in the screen game, he makes big plays, and he’s been the workhorse, so I think he will be a great complement to Ken.

“I got Ken on the phone just to talk to him about that, how much we see them fitting together,” Carroll continued. “I’m pretty excited about this one.”
The Seahawks are notorious for their love of the run game and with Rashaad Penny and Travis Homer lost to free agency, Charbonnet makes for a nice one-two punch behind Walker for now.
