Kenneth Walker has made an immediate impact in Kansas City. Through his first five games with the Chiefs after arriving from the Seahawks in free agency, the reigning Super Bowl MVP has accumulated 665 rushing yards and 760 total yards from scrimmage, according to Sports Wire Live's Monday breakdown.
At his current production level, Walker would surpass two of the NFL's most durable single-season marks: Eric Dickerson's longstanding rushing record and Chris Johnson's yards-from-scrimmage record. Kansas City, the report notes, now boasts the most productive runner of the Patrick Mahomes era.
The contrast with his former team is sharp. Seattle sits at 3-3 and is struggling to run the ball ahead of its Sunday night matchup, while Walker has become the centrepiece of the Chiefs' ground game.
Five games is a small sample, and record pace in October rarely survives a full season of defensive adjustments and wear. But if Walker stays anywhere near his current output, Dickerson's and Johnson's marks will be under genuine threat by December.
