Price will attempt to step into the explosive shoes of reigning Super Bowl 60 MVP Kenneth Walker III, who departed in free agency to the Kansas City Chiefs . Athletic Profile/Comps Relative Athletic Score (RAS) Mockdraftable Right off the bat, let’s address that one red block in Price’s RAS: his weight at 203 lbs. He admitted in one of his post-draft interviews that it was lighter than he played at, and is planning to be around 210 this season, which while lighter than many of Seattle’s former RBs, is still perfectly acceptable especially considering K9 was listed just one pound heavier at 211 lbs.

If you’ve seen pictures of Price, he looks well built and powerful. Messing around with the RAS calculator allows you to input other values. Just for reference, Price’s RAS at 210 lbs would be 8.

71 assuming the testing numbers would stay the same. As it stands, Price has a good athletic profile despite only being in the “green” for his 40-yard dash of 4. 49 seconds and broad jump.
