The Seattle Seahawks received their Super Bowl rings Thursday night, but one person from the team was notably absent: the game’s Most Valuable Player.
Kenneth Walker earned Super Bowl LX honors in Santa Clara after rushing 27 times for 135 yards, making him by far the best offensive player on the field.
Walker had no choice but to be the Seahawks’ bell cow after Zach Charbonnet tore his ACL in the NFC Championship Game two weeks prior.

But there was a price to pay for the Seahawks, as Walker signed a three-year, $45 million contract with the Kansas City Chiefs a month later.
Walker was the only member of the championship-winning team not to attend, but it’s worth noting that the Chiefs’ mandatory minicamp still took place on Thursday.
By the second quarter, Walker had already joined Timmy Smith and Marcus Allen with multiple 25-yard runs in a Super Bowl.

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.
