What a difference one game in the NFL seems to make. In reality, it doesn't, but perception often lies to us. In the Seattle Seahawks' Week 2 victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers, running back Kenneth Walker III was great. Zach Charbonnet wasn't.
But 12s know that Walker is capable of greatness. As a rookie in 2022, he had three runs of 60-plus yards and looked like Rashaad Penny when Penny was healthy. However, injuries began to affect Walker as well.
Walker missed multiple games in 2023 and 2024, including six last season. Meanwhile, Charbonnet missed just one game in his first two seasons.
