The former SDSU running back was selected 27th overall after finishing the 2017 season with an 88.4 overall grade. Seattle selected X at No. 27 after this pick originally belonged to New Orleans, but was traded to Green Bay (for Marcus Davenport) and then traded to Seattle by Green Bay in exchange of their first-round picks.

Seattle sent Round 1 (18) and Round 7 (248) in exchange for Green Bay's Round 1 (27), Round 3 (76) and Round 6 (186).

  • Penny ranked second among draft-eligible running backs in elusive rating in 2017 (128.6).
  • Penny rushed for 1120 yards between the tackles – most among draft-eligible running backs and also forced the most missed tackles in the draft class (86).
