Kenneth Walker III: Seahawks expert weighs in on Chiefs' new RB

[ASFN Admin]

The Kansas City Chiefs made a major splash in free agency by signing former Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III shortly after the legal tampering period opened on March 9.

In the hours after the announcement that Walker would be signing with Kansas City, Chiefs Wire reached out to Seahawks Wire editor and Seattle football expert Kole Musgrove to get an idea of what fans should expect from Andy Reid's new star rusher.

Here's what Musgrove had to say about Walker's tenure with the Seahawks:

"Kenneth Walker III… Super Bowl LX MVP. What a fun player he was to watch during his years in the Emerald City, and there are plenty of 12’s who are going to miss him dearly. I'm thrilled he landed a pay day, and even more thrilled that if he had to leave he left for the AFC. Walker is a home run threat any time he touches the ball, and his vision has improved tremendously… as evidenced by his incredible Super Bowl run. One area of concern is durability. He played in all 20 games last year, but he also had Zach Charbonnet to help carry the load during the season. If Kansas City hopes to make him an every down back in every game, I would be worried if he could stay healthy." — Kole Musgrove

Walker was among the most exciting players on the market in free agency, and while it is too soon to tell if injuries will mar his tenure in Kansas City, the former Michigan State Spartan is sure to become a fan-favorite in Western Missouri as soon as he takes the field in a Chiefs uniform.
