Seahawks Coach Praises Ex-RB Walker's NFL Dominance
24 Oct
Summary
- Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald expressed admiration for Kenneth Walker III.
- Walker leads the NFL with 665 rushing yards through five games.
- Seattle did not extend Walker's contract due to high market value.
Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald has acknowledged the exceptional performance of former Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III.
Macdonald, speaking on SiriusXM NFL Radio, noted that Walker is currently playing at an elite level for the Kansas City Chiefs. He highlighted Walker's strength, vision, and decisive running style, as well as his improved ability in the passing game.
Walker has been a standout player this season, leading the NFL in multiple rushing categories, including 665 total yards and 6.3 yards per carry. He has amassed 760 yards from scrimmage and scored eight touchdowns (six rushing, two receiving) in only five games.
Despite Walker's success, the Seahawks reportedly did not engage in serious contract extension discussions with him after his Super Bowl MVP performance last season. Sources indicate his postseason heroics significantly increased his market value, pricing him out of Seattle's reach ahead of free agency.
