Zach Charbonnet

Leftwich, who has been out of the league for two seasons, interviewed with the Patriots for their head coach opening earlier this month. Now, the former Buccaneers offensive coordinator could once again find himself calling plays, only this time for the Seahawks. Leftwich's work with the Buccaneers from 2019-2022 resulted in a Super Bowl title during the 2020 season, and an offense that ranked in the top five in scoring in three of those four years. The Buccaneers' offense bottomed out in Leftwich's final season with the team, but it's hard to overlook the decline in play we saw from Tom Brady in that final season. During his four years as Tampa Bay's OC, the team ranked sixth in EPA per play and offensive success rate while boasting the third-highest early-down pass rate. Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald seems to be looking for a coordinator who will steer the team in a more balanced approach. It seems unlikely that Leftwich would fit that mold, but it's possible I'd be willing to change up his philosophy with Geno Smith under center and two solid backs in Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet.

Charbonnet once again operated as the Seahawks' No. 1 back with Ken Walker sidelined. He was mostly bottled up by the Rams defense in what was a pass-heavy game plan for the Seahawks. Charbonnet ends the 2024 season with 569 rushing yards and eight rushing scores along with 42 catches on 54 targets and another touchdown. Charbonnet will finish in the top ten in running back catches on the season. He proved explosive as the team's lead back, though his 4.2 yards per carry was slightly below his rookie year mark. Charbonnet will enter 2025 as the RB2 behind Walker, most likely.

Charbonnet rushed 14 times for 59 yards while collecting a lateral for 32 receiving yards in Sunday's 30-25 win over the Rams.
