Seahawks Eye Kaleb Johnson as Backup | Seattle Seahawks News

Seattle’s running back depth is dangerously thin as Kenneth Walker III heads to Kansas City and Zack Charbonnet battles injury, leaving rookie Jadarian Price potentially starting Week 1. With George Holani and Emanuel Wilson in backup roles, the Seahawks may even target a fringe NFL player — like Kaleb Johnson, a third-round pick by Pittsburgh who’s reportedly on the chopping block despite a stellar college career. Johnson’s power running style could fit Seattle’s needs, but his limited NFL production and lack of speed make him a risky gamble. While the Seahawks might be tempted to take a flyer, it’s a move they’d be wise to avoid. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
