Notre Dame alum Jadarian Price draws strong praise from new coach

· Yahoo Sports

If there were any questions on whether the Seattle Seahawks were going to give a prominent role to former Irish running back Jadarian Price, their head coach Mike McDonald erased any doubt. Recently he said that Price "embodies what it means to be a Seahawk" and will be given the opportunity to compete for a significant role right away.

These words are not new, Macdonald has been consistent since draft night about the role he sees for Price. Just this week he said "We're going to run wide zone and he's going to run wide zone, and we'll mix in gap schemes he can execute effectively." He noted Price's vision, cutback ability and contact balance as traits noted in the Seahawks evaluation of the running back.

He also mentioned how integral running backs are to the Seahawks passing game and praised Price's ability to contribute on special teams as he continued to try to earn more touches in the crowded backfield.

Some publications suggest that Price could be the Week 1 starter while Zach Charbonnet recovers from an ACL injury. In a very run-oriented offense, but one that openly speaks of wanting to feature wide zone concepts, that could mean a heavy workload for whoever gets handed the ball.

For Notre Dame fans, they will have a lot to be proud of at the running back position with two being drafted in the opening round of the most recent NFL Draft.

If Jadarian Price is able to make an impact during his rookie season with the Super Bowl champions, it will only help the Notre Dame program continue to recruit blue-chip talent at the running back position.

Today the Atlanta Braves have announced that they have officially signed all 21 of their draft picks from last weekend’s 2026 MLB Draft. The class headlined by college outfielders AJ Gracia and Carter Beck, as well as overslot prep arms Kaiden McCarthy and Jensen Hirschkorn is made up of eight right-handed pitchers, two left-handed pitchers, four outfielders, two infielders, and five catchers.

It had already been announced that the Braves had signed their first 12 choices and the bonus figure for Cole Dorland had been leaked, but today’s announcement signifies that the final nine picks have come to terms – including Dorland. That list includes C Dominic Kibler, RHP Cole Dorland, RHP Brady Hamilton, OF Caleb Klein, C Dalton Harper, RHP John Damozonio, LHP Ethan Stade, C Austin Fawley, and RHP Nile Adcock.

Visit newssport.cv for more information.

This news is hardly surprising, as the Braves were always expected to sign all of these 2026 draft picks – however this is still a positive update as it means nothing fell through for any reason such as a failed physical or player changing his mind.

A complete recap of the draft can be found here from last week.
