It’s a running joke (pun intended) that the Seattle Seahawks like to take running backs in the NFL Draft.
Since 2012, the Seahawks have selected 14 running backs, a bang-on average of one per draft and the most in the NFL. No team has used more combined Day 1-2 draft picks on running backs than Seattle, and the total draft pick value spent is the most.

The only seasons under John Schneider/Pete Carroll in which they did not select at least one RB were 2010, 2011, 2015, and 2021.
