Seattle Seahawks RB George Holani might be leaned upon more in the early part of the season following the departure of RB Kenneth Walker III (Chiefs) and RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) recovering from an ACL injury. The team signed RB Emanuel Wilson, and it might pursue help in the draft, but Holani received praise from general manager John Schneider earlier this month. ‘I’m not saying (Holani’s) going to be their starting running back,’ ESPN’s Field Yates said. ‘But I’ll be the first to admit, in my role, sometimes you overlook some of the internal options that might play a bigger role than you realize.’
