Kenneth Walker III is officially coming back to Seattle this Sunday, but it’s not in the green and blue we remember. The former Seahawk, now a Chief, is set to face his old team for the first time, in a matchup ESPN’s Nate Taylor has already dubbed “The Kenneth Walker III Classic.” Get ready for some serious drama, 12s.
The Classic, Revisited
This isn’t just any game, folks. Walker, who landed with the Chiefs in free agency, is returning to take on the team that let him walk. It’s going to be dramatic, plain and simple. While the Chiefs are rolling into this matchup undefeated, our Hawks have been struggling a bit, currently sitting at a 3-3 record. That doesn’t mean it’ll be an easy win for Kansas City, but it’s definitely something to note as we gear up for Sunday. All eyes are going to be on K9 in this one.
Mahomes’ Message to the 12s
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes is clearly having a blast playing alongside Walker this season. He’s already hyping up the return, telling Taylor, “I know it’s going to be a special moment for him.” Mahomes added, “You get to go back to the place where you kind of built your career, where you [won] a Super Bowl. Just like anything, you’ve got to win a game, and he knows that we have his back.” Talk about laying it all out there. Mahomes and Walker are dynamic together, and now they’ll have to prove it against the very team that gave Walker his start.
So, get ready, Seattle. This Sunday, we’ve got the undefeated Chiefs rolling into our house, with a familiar face on the opposing sideline ready to make a statement. Our Hawks have a chance to turn their season around against a tough opponent, and you know the Emerald City faithful will be loud. You won’t want to miss a second of this “Kenneth Walker III Classic.”
