During the 2024 NFL draft, the Seattle Seahawks made a surprising choice by selecting running back Zach Charbonnet in the second round. This pick was reminiscent of Pete Carroll’s typical style, sparking criticism because Seattle had drafted Kenneth Walker III the year before in the same round. However, Charbonnet quickly proved his worth and silenced the doubters. Despite his modest stats of 462 rushing yards and one touchdown, along with 209 receiving yards, he complemented Walker effectively in the backfield.
Looking back at Charbonnet’s rookie season, here are the top 5 plays that stand out. This footage can be viewed here.
