Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III was named Super Bowl LX MVP.

The fourth-year running back had 27 carries for 135 yards, making him by far the best offensive player on the field.

Walker had no choice but to be the Seahawks’ cow after Zach Charbonnet tore his ACL in the NFC Championship Game two weeks ago.

By the second quarter, Walker had already joined Timmy Smith and Marcus Allen with multiple 25-yard runs in a Super Bowl.

Walker failed to find the end zone – in fact, Seattle’s only offensive touchdown came from AJ Barner. However, Walker’s dominance on the court helped Seattle get into scoring position. Jason Myers went 5-of-5 on his field goal attempts after Walker’s ground-and-pound effort.

Walker’s 135 rushing yards are tied for eighth most in Super Bowl history and the second most he has ever had in a game, including the playoffs.

Walker’s rushing prop hovered around 70 yards, which he passed in the first half.

The running back is also set to become a free agent when the new NFL season begins next month, so it’s certainly not a bad way to approach the offseason.
