Will Hardy on Walker Kessler: We are going to have to …
Former NFL player Leger Douzable has predicted that Kansas City Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker III will start a regression in performance this week. Walker has been in exceptional form during the first six weeks of the season, currently leading the NFL in rushing yards while his team, the Kansas City Chiefs, boasts a 5-0 record heading into their Week 7 game against the Seattle Seahawks.
However, Douzable, speaking on NFL on CBS, believes that Walker's outstanding performance will come to an end this week due to the Seahawks' formidable defense. "He's due for a regression, which you would assume is going to happen because he's played at, at this pace, it's ridiculous, and I think it starts this week just because that is a tough defence to run the football against," Douzable stated.
He added that the Seahawks' defense is committed to minimizing Walker's impact on the Kansas City offence, with the aim of disrupting Mahomes and the Chiefs' offense. It remains to be seen if the Seahawks, who are currently 3-3, can successfully thwart both Walker and quarterback Patrick Mahomes and put an end to the Chiefs' winning streak.
