The Seattle Seahawks concluded their 2024 season under head coach Mike Macdonald, falling short of the playoffs, primarily due to a struggling run game that ranked 29th in the NFL. Despite the team's challenges, the running backs showed resilience, with Ken Walker III, Zach Charbonnet, and Kenny McIntosh proving capable of generating yardage despite insufficient blocking.
Walker, Charbonnet, and McIntosh collectively forced 103 missed tackles and averaged over three yards per carry after contact. Charbonnet emerged as a standout, scoring eight touchdowns, while McIntosh demonstrated versatility in both rushing and receiving roles.
However, injuries plagued Walker, who missed significant time and saw his explosive plays decline. Overall, the group's performance was commendable, especially in forced missed tackles, but they struggled with pass protection. Their combined efforts earned the unit a grade of B-, signaling room for improvement as they look ahead to the 2025 season with hopes of a stronger run game.
