Kenneth Walker III living up to NFL hype and this stat proves it

Six weeks of NFL action are in the books, and some former Michigan State stars in the NFL are making some noise. Kenneth Walker III is among those top performers making waves.

The former Doak Walker Award winner and Wake Forest transfer spent his final collegiate season in East Lansing, dominating defenses every week. He may have been snubbed from the Heisman Trophy Ceremony in New York, but that hasn’t stopped him from continuing his dominance in the NFL.

After rushing for 1,000 yards as a rookie, he had two “down” seasons in 2023 and 2024, but it looks like he’s getting his confidence back, and he might just hit the 1,000-yard mark for the second time in his career.
