Walker III.
Michigan State· 5'9"· 211 lb· 4.38s 40
A downhill, outside zone running scheme that prioritizes a single, explosive back capable of handling a heavy workload.
Kenneth Walker III projects as a Year 1 starter and a consistent 1,000-yard rusher with Pro Bowl upside in a run-heavy attack.
An Air Raid or pass-heavy spread offense where his limited receiving would diminish his impact.
His blend of size, speed, and contact balance makes him an ideal fit for schemes that want to establish the run and gash defenses.
Selected #41 overall in Round 2 of the 2022 NFL Draft by Seattle Seahawks out of Michigan State.
