Former Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker is leading the league in rushing

Former Seattle Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker is leading the league in rushing heading into Week 5.

Former Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III is currently leading the NFL in rushing yards heading into Week 5. Despite the Seahawks making the difficult decision to release him in free agency, Walker appears to have made the right move in signing with the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs are currently third in the league in rushing offense, while the Seahawks are ranked 13th.

Walker's decision to leave the Seahawks appears to have been a mistake, as he is now the highest-paid running back in the league after extensions for Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs. Walker has rushed for an impressive 537 yards, which is the highest total in the NFL, and has also scored six total touchdowns. Despite the Chiefs facing struggles with running the football last season, Walker has revitalized their offense. The Seahawks, on the other hand, are now in need of a reliable running back after releasing Walker.
