Kenneth Walker joins Kansas City Chiefs for 2026 season

Summary

Kenneth Walker has signed with the Kansas City Chiefs after four seasons with the Seattle Seahawks. His move occurs following a Super Bowl-winning campaign by the Seahawks, highlighting a significant change in his career trajectory. Walker posted 1,027 rushing yards and 11.3 PPG last season, but will compete with running backs Emari Demercado and Emmett Johnson for touches. Expert consensus ranks him as RB11, with potential for a larger role in Kansas City, particularly in light of Patrick Mahomes' recovery from a knee injury. Draft strategies may consider Walker's early projections as a low-end RB1, depending on overall rankings.
