Seahawks need first-round pick Penny to play like one

I’ve been a big supporter of Rashaad Penny since the Seahawks took him in the first round of 2018. As I noted after the draft, I expected Penny to give Chris Carson a real push for the starting job in Seattle. It wouldn’t be easy, but Penny’s standing as the most elusive back in the draft should have transitioned to the NFL. He’s been elusive, but only when it comes to playing time. It’s past time for him to raise his game and prove he belongs in the NFL.

I’ll admit, I drank the Kool-Aid on Penny, pitcher after pitcher.
