Kenneth Walker III has absolutely torn up the league, racking up an incredible 537 rushing yards through just four games with the Kansas City Chiefs. That’s not just a good start, folks, that’s franchise history. Nobody in Chiefs history has ever piled up that many rushing yards in the first four weeks of a season. And get this: the Chiefs are still undefeated at 4-0, the last team standing in the AFC without a loss.
K9 Just Rewrote the Chiefs’ Record Books
Yeah, you heard that right. K9 isn’t just playing well, he’s obliterating records. Sports Center themselves tweeted, “K9 is a DAWG,” and we couldn’t agree more. They highlighted how Walker’s 537 rushing yards through Week 4 is the most by any Chiefs player in that span, a feat that puts him alone atop the franchise’s history books for this remarkable start to his Chiefs tenure and the 2026 season. It’s a huge reason why Kansas City is sitting pretty with a perfect record right now.
How He Got There: Breaking Down the Dominance
Walker’s season started hot and has just kept rolling. In Week 1, he put up 173 yards and a touchdown on 23 attempts. He followed that up with 117 yards on 24 attempts in Week 2. Then, against the Miami Dolphins in Week 3, he carried the ball 18 times for 70 yards and another touchdown. But his Week 4 performance against the Las Vegas Raiders was something else. He started a little slower, by his own absurd standards, but then exploded in the late third quarter with a massive 76-yard run up the right sideline that put the Chiefs deep in Raider territory. He kept grinding after that, finishing Week 4 with a monster 177 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 22 attempts, including a 22-yard rushing touchdown that sealed the game. Through four games, Walker’s sitting on 87 attempts, 537 rushing yards, and four touchdowns, averaging a ridiculous 6.17 yards per rushing attempt. This guy is just getting started, and the rest of the league needs to figure out how to stop him.
