Seattle Seahawks running back Christine Michael "will have a role on offense once the regular season starts," according to ESPN reporter Sheil Kapadia.
Kapadia's article has numerous quotes from teammates and coaches citing Michael's improved maturity and on-field performance. Despite poor work habits and preparation to this point, fourth-year running back Michael has averaged 4.70 yards per carry in his career. He has averaged 5.82 yards per carry on 17 preseason rushes while showing dramatic improvement in the passing game.
Our models expect Michael to be the third option in his own backfield, behind both Thomas Rawls and rookie third-round pick C.J. Prosise. We currently project him to carry the ball 20 times for 89 yards and 1.09 touchdowns this season, adding 10 catches for 69 yards and 0.31 scores through the air.
