Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said RB Kenny McIntosh “easily” could have been taken in the third round.
Carroll went on to say that McIntosh is a “special” RB and noted that he is already thought of as a leader in the RB room. Though all this positive talk probably doesn’t augur well for Deejay Dallas, Carroll also said Ken Walker had a “fantastic” offseason. Carroll is often extremely positive and offers a lot of praise about his players in public, so we wouldn’t necessarily get carried away with this, but the fact that he got this kind of praise this soon does put McIntosh on the monitor list this offseason.
