The Seattle Seahawks are shaking up their running backroom after Kenneth Walker III, left

and Zack Sharbanay deals with an injury.

They've signed a manual Wilson from the Green Bay Packers on a short-term deal to add

depth.

At 226 pounds, he's a physical downhill runner who fits their structured offense.

Wilson took an unusual row to the league, starring at Fort Valley State before going

undrafted.

He had a quick stint with the Denver Broncos, then earned a roster spot with Green Bay

after a strong 2023 preseason.

By 2025, he was a steady early-down option, playing all 17 games that year.

In 2025, Wilson had 125 carries for 496 yards, three touchdowns, and averaged four yards

per carry.

He added 15 catches for 99 yards.

Over his career so far, he's rushed 242 times for 1,083 yards at 4.5 yards per carry

with seven scores.

On film, Wilson excels between the tackles with good pad level, patience, and contact

balance to squeeze extra yards.

He's solid in inside zone and power runs, but lacks top-end speed for outside plays.

His receiving work is basic, mostly check downs, and pass protection needs improvement,

though he holds his own in matchups.

Wilson could see real snaps of Charbonate isn't fully back, handling early downs much

like Charbonate style.

He's no walker replacement with less burst, but a low-risk ad for Seattle's 2026 rotation,

Some people meditate, I just lay down and press play, S-O-L-I-S-O-L-E-P-L-O-D-C-A-I.
