It's March 31st. Welcome to NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. Seattle Seahawks just hoisted the Super Bowl 60 trophy, but free agency hit him hard with running back Kenneth Walker III, their MVP, Bolting, to the Kansas City Chiefs. Now they've got a massive gap at the position heading into the offseason. Zach Scharbernay is still mending a torn ACL from late last season, so the Dept charts thin. They grabbed a manual Wilson and have George Holani, but those guys aren't ready to carry the load as a true starter. ESPN analyst Matt Bowen spots a perfect draft fix in Arkansas running back, Mike Washington Jr. Pegg for the end of Round 2, around there. 64th overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft. This 6 foot 1 223 pound back blazed a 4.33 in the 40 yard dash at the Combine, paring elite speed with NFL size. Last season, he ripped off 1,070 rushing yards on 167 carries with 8 touchdowns plus 28 catches for 226 yards and another score.

He's a bit older as a prospect, but with Seattle pushing win now-mode, grabbing him their lines of smooth for their offense and plugs the hole without. Breaking the bank early.
