Unless the Seattle Seahawks take the “we’re going to revive our running game” promise a little too seriously, it’s unlikely that they’ll be carrying five running backs on the 53-man roster. With that in mind, it’s always “Always Compete” season in Renton, and with training camp and preseason nearing, the running back competition is going to be fascinating to watch.
We can assume that Rashaad Penny is a lock, seeing as he’s Seattle’s 2018 first-round draft pick with high hopes of being the new starter. Following him is Chris Carson, whom despite only playing in a handful of games in his rookie season, was Seattle’s most productive back, and had lavish praise heaped upon him heading into the previous training camp/preseason.
