Bad News: Rashaad Penny is out for the season. Good News: Ken Walker III looks more than prepared to bolster the Seahawks’ offense. Seahawks | GoHawks
and with a reinforced offensive line and running backs room, this year’s Seahawks team was built to rely heavily on the running game. Even though their lead back of previous years, Chris Carson, was forced into medical retirement and Penny already had a long history of injury trouble, Seattle drafted Walker as something of a contingency plan to ensure they could run the ball without their top two guys from 2021.
Walker was a dominating force with Michigan State at the collegiate level as an explosive runner with tons of potential to hit the home run if he broke out into space. Once his good vision and fantastic footwork allow him to find creases in the defense, he gets to top gear quickly to break away from defenders in the open field. In his one year as the featured bellcow running back for the Spartans, he put up touchdown runs of 58, 75, and 94 yards.
And in his first NFL game taking over the featured back role after Penny went down, Walker showed off that same vision, footwork, and explosiveness and broke off a 69-yard touchdown run. How fitting it was for the first touchdown of Walker’s young career to come on the same kind of home run play he was able to show off in college.
