- Jadarian Price has taken 10.3% of tickets — the most of any player on BetMGM's 2026 OROY board — and ranks second in handle at 12.8%, despite sitting at long +750 odds
- Jeremiyah Love, the No. 3 overall pick to Arizona and Price's former Notre Dame backfield-mate, is the +300 OROY favorite at BetMGM after winning the 2025 Doak Walker Award as college football's top running back
- Seattle's backfield opened up after Kenneth Walker III signed a free-agent deal averaging $15 million per year with Kansas City and Zach Charbonnet tore his ACL during the Divisional Round, leaving Charbonnet unlikely ready for Week 1
- Price's 2025 Notre Dame résumé included 113 carries for 674 yards and 11 rushing scores plus 12 kick returns for 450 yards and two return TDs, making him just the ninth FBS player ever with 10+ rushing and 10+ kick-return scores in the same season
- Coach Mike Macdonald told the Seahawks team site: "We're going to run wide zone and he's going to run wide zone," adding that Price will also factor into the gap scheme and the pass game
- Seattle ran the ball at the third-highest rate of any NFL team in 2025, and the team is featured on this summer's HBO "Hard Knocks" series, giving Price a national spotlight from camp onward
- DraftKings lists Price at -110 to rush for at least 750 yards and +225 for 1,000 yards in his rookie season — and no Seahawks player has ever won Offensive Rookie of the Year
Why it matters: With Walker gone to Kansas City and Charbonnet likely sidelined into the regular season, Price is lined up for a featured workload behind a top-three run-rate offense — and BetMGM bettors are staking the most tickets on the board on him cashing that volume into OROY hardware at +750, even though no Seattle player has ever won the award.
