Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III joins Chiefs in three-year deal

Running back Kenneth Walker III signed a three-year contract with the Kansas City Chiefs this past offseason. The former Seattle Seahawks standout, who earned MVP honors in Super Bowl LX, opted to leave his previous team to join a franchise he believes maintains a winning culture. Kansas City targeted the veteran to address a rushing attack that has finished in the bottom half of the league for multiple seasons. Walker provides the Chiefs with a consistent ball carrier, having recorded only one season with fewer than 200 carries in his four-year career. The running back is set to make his debut for the organization during a Monday Night Football matchup against the Denver Broncos. He joins the roster alongside recent additions as the team seeks to rebound from a year that saw the franchise miss the playoffs.
