STM Take
Charbonnet's climb to STTM #23 tier 6 (from #36 tier 8 in 2024 and #50 tier 8 in 2023) is the cleanest three-year positive trajectory on the back half of the top-25. The Super Bowl LX ring puts a floor under the career arc that pure rank doesn't capture. 21 career rushing TDs on 1,761 yards is touchdown efficiency that matches the field's tier-2 backs.
Charbonnet was born in Bellflower, California, attended Oaks Christian, and played at Michigan before transferring to UCLA, where he was a 2022 first-team All-American and first-team All-Pac-12. Seattle took him 52nd overall in the 2023 NFL Draft. He won Super Bowl LX with Seattle in the 2025 season alongside Kenneth Walker III.
Strengths
- 13-rank improvement from 2024 to 2025 with a Super Bowl LX ring as team-level confirmation of the trajectory.
- 21 career rushing TDs on only 1,761 yards is a touchdown rate that holds against tier-1 backs.
Concerns
- Two prior STTM years at tier 8; the 2025 rebound is one year against a long track of mid-tier finishes.
- 4.1 career YPC is among the lowest of the top-25 RBs; efficiency case has not arrived yet.
What to watch: Whether Seattle's run-game commitment post-Super Bowl carries into 2026 or compresses with Sam Darnold's passing volume.
