What happened: The Seattle Seahawks selected Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price with the 32nd overall pick, the final selection of Thursday night's NFL Draft first round. Price joins his Fighting Irish teammate Jeremiyah Love as the top two running backs selected, a draft first. Love was taken earlier in the round by another team.

Why it matters: This historic pairing underscores Notre Dame's dominant RB class and boosts the Seahawks' backfield depth amid ongoing rebuild efforts. Price's addition addresses Seattle's need for explosive runners, potentially impacting early depth charts and lines. The feat highlights shifting college-to-pro pipelines for the position.

By the numbers: Draft Pick: 32nd overall (Round 1, Pick 32) Team: Seattle Seahawks Player: Jadarian Price (RB, Notre Dame) Historical Note: First time top two drafted RBs from same school (Jeremiyah Love #1 RB)

What to watch: Watch Seahawks' Round 2 selections Friday night and Price's rookie minicamp performance for early fit indicators.
