Jadarian Price |Notre Dame |5’11, 203 lbs | 22 Years Old
Jadarian Price was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks, becoming the 2nd running back and 32nd overall player in the 2026 NFL Draft.
COLLEGE PRODUCTION
Jadarian Price stepped into a bigger role for Notre Dame in 2025 and made the most of it.
He finished with 674 rushing yards on 113 carries (6.0 YPC) and 13 total touchdowns, which tells you one thing right away — he knows how to find the end zone.
Even with a smaller workload, the efficiency stands out. He made the most of his touches and consistently picked up positive yardage.
He wasn’t heavily used in the passing game with just 6 receptions, but when he was targeted, he looked comfortable catching the ball.
This is a player who didn’t need a ton of volume to produce.
FILM
Jadarian Price is a clean, no-nonsense runner.
It starts with his vision and patience. He lets blocks develop and doesn’t rush the play. He’s not dancing around in the backfield trying to bounce everything outside. He stays controlled, finds the lane, and hits it.
Once he sees it, he goes. He’s a true north-south runner, and that shows up every time he touches the ball. He’s always looking to get upfield and pick up yards.
His burst is what makes him dangerous. When he plants and goes, he gets through the hole fast. That quick acceleration shows up in tight spaces, especially when defenders are slow to react.
For a 203-pound back, he runs tougher than you’d expect. He plays with good balance, absorbs contact, and keeps his legs moving. He’s not going to run over everyone, but he’s going to fall forward and fight for extra yards.
The biggest question is still the passing game role. The hands look fine, but he just wasn’t used much there. At the next level, he’s going to have to show he can do more than just be a checkdown option.
Overall, this is a runner who knows exactly what he is. He’s efficient, he’s decisive, and he gets everything that’s there.

ATHLETIC TESTING
Jadarian Price checks the box when it comes to speed and burst.
He ran a 4.49 in the 40, which is right where you want it for an NFL back. That’s more than enough speed to break off chunk plays.
Where he really stands out is the burst score (121.5). That shows up on tape when he hits the hole and gets upfield quickly.
His build at 5’11, 203 pounds gives him a solid base, and he runs with good balance for his size.
Overall, the testing lines up with what you see. Quick, decisive, and efficient.
DRAFT ANALYSIS
Rapid Reaction to Draft Capital: (Excellent)
Rapid Reaction to Landing Spot: (Excellent)
Jadarian Price was selected 32nd overall by the Seattle Seahawks in the NFL Draft. This feels like a player that teams view as a reliable back who can contribute early in the right role.
The landing spot is going to be key. If he’s in a system that fits his one-cut, north-south style, he can produce right away. I believe this landing spot is excellent for Price.
FANTASY INSIGHTS
From a dynasty perspective, Jadarian Price is the type of back that can quietly give you value.
He may not be the flashiest name, but efficient runners like this tend to stick around. If he gets consistent touches, he can produce.
The question is going to be workload. Can he handle a bigger role, or is he more of a committee back?
If he adds more in the passing game, his value goes up. If not, he’s likely more of a steady RB2 or flex type in fantasy.
