Seahawks close out the 2023 NFL Draft by selecting another running back
Seattle drafted another running back with the team’s final pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
The Seattle Seahawks closed out the 2023 NFL Draft by selecting another running back.
At pick No. 237, the Seahawks selected Kenny McIntosh out of Georgia, marking the second running back they selected in this year's draft. The first was Zach Charbonnet early on Day 2.
Let's take a look at what McIntosh may bring to the Seahawks if he makes the roster.
The running back room now looks fairly crowded with Kenneth Walker III, DeeJay Dallas, Charbonnet, and now McIntosh.
But McIntosh is no scrub. He led Georgia with 1,334 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns last season, averaging 6.94 yards per touch. McIntosh ended his career with 279 carries for 1,582 yards and 16 touchdowns along with 76 catches for 861 yards, and four touchdowns.
With 2,443 yards from scrimmage, McIntosh is 13th all-time among running backs at Georgia, and his 20 touchdowns are tied with James Cook, Jimmy Poulos, and Horace King for 17th. He is the all-time leader among Georgia running backs with 76 career receptions for 861 yards.
McIntosh is a versatile playmaker who is comfortable doing a little bit of everything within an offensive scheme. It is to be determined if he makes the Seahawks' final roster, but he is talented enough to be an impact gadget player or returner.
