STM Take
Walker at STTM #27 tier 7 in his final Seattle year carries the rare profile of a Super Bowl MVP whose regular-season rank lags the resume. The 2025 trophy is the entire case; the rank reflects four years of a 4.3 career YPC and a touch-share that never crossed 215 carries. The Kansas City move puts him into a system designed for a tier-2 ceiling.
Walker was born in Arlington, Tennessee, attended Arlington High, played at Wake Forest for two years, transferred to Michigan State, and won the 2021 Walter Camp and Doak Walker Awards as a unanimous All-American. The Seahawks took him 41st overall in the 2022 NFL Draft. He was Super Bowl LX MVP for Seattle in the 2025 season and signed with Kansas City for 2026. Career line is 3,555 rushing yards at 4.3 YPC, 29 rushing TDs, and 133 catches for 1,005 yards.
Strengths
- Super Bowl LX MVP for Seattle in the 2025 season; the postseason ceiling is one of one in this rank range.
- 133 career catches for 1,005 yards across four seasons; the pass-game role is real, not a one-year sample.
Concerns
- 4.3 career YPC is mid-pack and never crossed 1,100 yards in any Seattle season.
- Regular-season STTM rank has been tier 6 or worse every year despite the explosive ceiling.
What to watch: Whether Kansas City's run-heavy looks unlock a 1,200-yard floor in 2026 alongside Mahomes; the system fit is the bullish case.
