Kenneth Walker III showed that he is more than capable of carrying the load all by himself.
during the Divisional Round playoffs, Walker showed that he is more than capable of carrying the load all by himself for the Seahawks as he heads into free agency with a higher price tag and a Super Bowl 2026 ring.
He lost a 49-yard touchdown run to an offensive holding penalty, though he nonetheless came away with Super Bowl MVP honors. During the regular season, Walker out-carried Charbonnet, 221-184, but Charbonnet was the pay-dirt finisher , as all fantasy football managers know.

Now the Seahawks face a post-celebration decision: pay Walker the increasing going rate for a free-agent running back, franchise tag him for slightly north of $14 million in 2026 or let him walk and trust Charbonnet to recover well enough to be a lead back.Walker carried four times for 41 yards on the Seahawks’ second scoring drive and had a third-and-3 catch on the next drive. While that possession didn’t result in points, it moved the chains and allowed the Seahawks to cross midfield and drop a punt at the 2-yard line. Walker became the eighth 100-yard rusher in a Super Bowl this century, joining a not-fully-esteemed list of Jamaal Lewis , Michael Pittman , Dominic Rhodes , Thomas Jones , Marshawn Lynch , Frank Gore and Damien Williams .Walker’s 100 yards from scrimmage in the first half were more than twice as many as anyone else on either team.
