Walker is the first running back to win Super Bowl MVP since Denver’s Terrell Davis in Super Bowl 33.
Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III made some history in Sunday’s game. With 135 yards on 27 carries , Walker has been named Super Bowl MVP, putting the Seahawks’ offense on his back towards a victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 60.
The last running back to win this honor was the Denver Broncos’ Terrell Davis, who rushed for 102 yards on 25 attempts en route to a 34-19 victory over the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl 33. This has been K9’s most productive playoff game of his young career, as well as his second postseason contest with at least 100 yards on the ground, following Seattle’s Divisional Round matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. In that game, Walker had 116 yards on 19 carries for three touchdowns, with an additional 29 yards receiving. Walker has played an essential role in bolstering the Seahawks’ running game during this year’s playoff run, with teammate Zach Charbonnet suffering a torn ACL in the Divisional Round. Over the course of this playoff run, K9 has averaged 92.7 yards on 18.3 carries for two touchdowns, complementing superstar wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba with plenty of energy on the ground. Upon securing Super Bowl MVP honors, Walker has become the first Seahawk to win the award since linebacker Malcolm Smith did so 12 years earlier in Super Bowl 48. In addition, Walker has been named the third playoff MVP award winner in Seattle men’s sports history, following Smith and SuperSonics shooting guard Dennis Johnson, who was named 1979 NBA Finals MVP. Congratulations, Ken!
