SBNation Reacts results: Seahawks fans already stoked for next season

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Each week we ask questions of the most plugged-in NFL fans and fans across the country.

With the Seattle Seahawks training camp just over a month away, many NFL fans refer to this time of year as the dead season of the NFL offseason. However, that is not the case for all fan bases. When asked when they start getting excited for the 2025 NFL season, of the Seahawks fans polled, an overwhelming number (63%) answered that they are already excited.

This excitement for the 2025 season can be because of many different reasons. The Seahawks are bringing in a brand-new offensive scheme under Klint Kubiak. Add on top of this, there are a ton of new offensive faces (quarterback, Sam Darnold, wide receiver, Cooper Kupp, etc.) The Seahawks are also expecting to have one of the best defenses in the NFL. All of this is causing a ton of intrigue for how the Seahawks will look this upcoming NFL season.

Another reason for intrigue and excitement could be because of how rookie quarterback Jalen Milroe could be used by the Seahawks this season. Milroe is arguably the most electric runner in the NFL (except for maybe Lamar Jackson), however he still needs time to develop as a passer. Could the Seahawks choose to deploy Milroe in certain packages, perhaps in the red zone where he could utilize his elite running abilities? Or, as is the case when most NFL teams try to utilize two quarterbacks, is Milroe going to struggle to see the field?

Speaking of rushing the football, another question asked of Seahawks fans this week was who they think will lead the NFL in rushing yards this season. With the top four running backs being options, Kenneth Walker III led the polling with 66% of the vote. In second came Zach Charbonnet at 24%. Damien Martinez and Kenny McIntosh came in third and fourth with 5% and 3% respectively.

Optimistically assuming there are no injuries this season, these results are not too surprising. With Klint Kubiak bringing in the new wide-zone blocking scheme, it is anticipated that the elusive Walker III will be able to take advantage of the extra space that comes with the scheme. One thing to keep in mind though is to not discount Kenny McIntosh. When McIntosh got to see the field late last season he took advantage of it and brought a spark to the offense.

Regardless, the Seahawks backfield is in good shape when the fan base can be confident in four different backs leading the charge. Hopefully injuries won’t occur this season, but with the NFL being such a physical game, it won’t surprising to see all four running backs getting their shot at toting the ball.

Here’s to a few more weeks till training camp!
