Kansas City Chiefs Sign Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker

On March 17, the Kansas City Chief signed running back Kenneth Walker III to fix their

struggling ground game.

After two seasons with few explosive runs from their backs, they grabbed the Super Bowl

MVP and free agency.

Walker brings speed and big playability that Kansas City lacked last year.

His regular season stats were solid, but not stand out, with decent yards over-expected.

Things changed in the playoffs, where he dominated and earned that MVP award.

Still, analysts worried because he rarely played on passing downs in Seattle, handling

just 20% of third and longs.

In Seattle, Walker's share carries was Zack Sharbinay, who took third downs and Red

Zone work.

That split led to some behind-the-scenes frustration for Walker, even as both backs produced over

a thousand yards combined.

Sharbinay's injury opened the door for Walker to shine in the postseason run.

Kansas City sees Walker as a fit behind their strong offensive line.

He forced missed tackles on over 30% of touches.

Third best in the league and had eight runs of 20 yards or more last season.

The chiefs hope he delivers the breakaways their previous backs couldn't.

Walker now starts fresh in Kansas City, aiming to spark a run game that could push them

deeper into the playoffs.
