Seattle Seahawks’ GM John Schneider has an impressive track record of finding late-round running backs. Chris Carson was the biggest steal in the seventh round of the 2017 draft, but another seventh-rounder, Kenny McIntosh, had some moments, as did 2016 fifth-round pick Alex Collins (albeit for a team other than Seattle).
When Schneider chose Damien Martinez out of Miami with the first of his three seventh-round picks this year, hopes were high that he had uncovered another productive back. At the time, it appeared that Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet were the only two sure things in the Seahawks' backfield.
