With Beast Mode in retirement mode, the Seahawks drafted three running backs: C.J. Prosise (Notre Dame), Alex Collins (Arkansas) and Zac Brooks (Clemson). However, it's Rawls who should handle the bulk of the load, if he is healthy. He rushed for 830 yards (a whopping 5.6 yards per carry) and four TDs in 13 games (seven starts) last season.
