Chiefs' Andy Reid Makes Feelings Clear on Kenneth Walker After Explosive Start

Kenneth Walker has emerged as one of the NFL's top running backs, but Chiefs HC Andy Reid says his dominant start was no surprise.

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid revealed that he was not surprised by the impressive performance of running back Kenneth Walker, who has already amassed 537 rushing yards and four touchdowns in just four games. Walker leads the league with a remarkable 6.2 yards per carry. Reid explained that they had already observed Walker's potential during the Seahawks' Super Bowl run last season, where he played a crucial role and ultimately won Super Bowl MVP.

Now, with the Chiefs giving him a full workload, the team believes Walker can lead them to another championship. Walker, who spent his first four seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, has finally been given the opportunity to showcase his skills in Kansas City, where he is now playing 75% of the team's offensive snaps and on pace for over 2,000 rushing yards.
