Kenneth Walker III Has One Question Before First Chiefs Season

Kenneth Walker III is one of the newest weapons that head coach Andy Reid, quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs will have at their disposal during the 2026 NFL season.

Walker spent the first four years of his professional career with the Seattle Seahawks, where he saw great success, rushing for 3,555 yards and 29 touchdowns in 58 regular-season games.

He was also a force in Seattle's triumph over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX. Walker was a workhorse for the Seahawks in that game, carrying the ball 27 times for 135 yards, earning Super Bowl MVP honors.

This offseason, the 25-year-old signed a three-year, $43 million contract with the Chiefs to be the team's starting running back.

Before Walker steps onto the field as part of Kansas City's backfield, he took to social media to ask one question of Chiefs fans.

"Wassup Chiefs Kingdom!" Walker wrote on X. "What's the best restaurants in KC? Help ya boy out."

It's obvious that Walker is still getting settled into living in Kansas City, and just like everyone else, he is wondering where the best spots in town for food are.

He comes to the Chiefs as one of the top running backs in the league, and he is fresh on the heels of a very successful season in 2025. He started every game for the Seahawks last year, totaling 221 carries for 1,027 yards and five touchdowns. Walker also caught 31 passes out of the backfield for 282 yards.

With the number of replies he got to his question, there's no doubt Walker will be fueled up to go when the Chiefs begin their season in September.
