After their Super Bowl 60 win, the Seattle Seahawks<\/a> lost a few key players in free agency. But, of those departing players, the loss of Kenneth Walker III stings the most.<\/p>\n

He won Super Bowl MVP, and with Zach Charbonnet out to begin the season, the Seahawks’ running back room is in dire shape.<\/p>\n

ESPN’s Matt Miller<\/a> shared that the Seahawks “want to add” to their running back room in the draft, and that they have eyes on 1,000-yard running back out of Arkansas, Mark Washington Jr.<\/p>\n

Seahawks interested in Mike Washington Jr. amid RB need<\/p>\n

“It’s no secret the Seahawks want to add a running back in this class, and I’ve heard Mike Washington Jr. (Arkansas) has met with them in the run-up to the draft,” Miller reports.<\/p>\n

This is not a surprising development for the Seahawks, as they desperately need running back help this offseason after losing Walker to the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They went out and signed Emmanuel Wilson, the former Green Bay Packers<\/a> running back, though he’s not going to be a full-time starter for Seattle.<\/p>\n

He’s quality depth, and will be a fine option along with George Holani coming off the bench for the running back room. But they need one more option.<\/p>\n

Washington, the Arkansas running back, ran a 4.33-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine at 6-foot-2, 223 pounds. That’s a ridiculously impressive time for someone his size. Add in his 1,070 yards and eight touchdowns last year, and he’s a fun prospect.<\/p>\n

Seattle would benefit from adding Washington, and he’d be a second or third-round pick as well. The Seahawks could use their first-round pick on an edge rusher or cornerback, and come back with the 64th pick and take Washington for the RB room.<\/p>\n

Washington could come to Washington this offseason, and it would make a ton of sense for the Seahawks. This is one move to keep a close eye on for Seahawks fans, as the RB needs, combined with Washington’s link to the team, makes for a good Day 2 fit.<\/p>\n
