A look at the breakout game for Seahawks rookie running back Kenneth Walker III
My heart breaks for Rashaad Penny. The sheer misfortune of his recent season-ending injury is awful for so many reasons, and I wish him a full and swift recovery. Of course, injuries are a sad reality of football, and the league continues to move forward, regardless of who gets left behind.
Now, I don’t want to sound like a huge downer, but nearly 50% of Walker’s total rushing yards on the season came on his 69-yard run in the 4th quarter of Sunday’s matchup. In fact, up until that rush, Walker had 69 total yards on the season . He had 20 carries on the year up to the TD run and was averaging 3.5 yards per tote. This isn’t awful, as many offensive players see their averages inflated by chunk plays, but it also isn’t amazing.
. However, in college, Walker averaged 4.46 YCO/A during his final season at Michigan State. This ranked 6th among running backs with at least 100 attempts in 2021. Interestingly enough, Rashaad Penny averaged 4.47 during his final season. In fact, Penny and Walker have many similarities that go beyond statistics; their athletic profiles and physicality share some striking resemblance;
Rashaad Penny's injury is heartbreaking; Kenneth Walker III has some big cleats to fill in his absence. He is certainly capable, and his athletic profile is strikingly similar to Rashaad Penny, for whatever that is worth. Below are the pre-draft measurables for both.
