‘Let’s Put Some Respect on Kenneth Walker (III)’ — Broncos Legend Demands Chiefs Star Get His Due in MVP Conversation
Kenneth Walker III is five games into the 2026 season without a fumble, rushing for 665 yards and scoring eight touchdowns for the Kansas City Chiefs heading into Sunday Night Football at Seattle. He has been the most consistent piece on an offense still searching for answers at wide receiver. Denver Broncos legend Mark Schlereth has praised Kenneth Walker III for his consistent performance for the Kansas City Chiefs. Despite not having a fumble in five games of the 2026 season, Walker has rushed for 665 yards and scored eight touchdowns for the team. No running back has won the NFL MVP award since Adrian Peterson in 2012. Walker is on pace for 2,261 rushing yards and 20 touchdowns on the season based on his current output. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the wide receiver position, Schlere credits Walker's consistent performance to the team's success. He also mentioned that the team had not mentioned Patrick Mahomes once during their discussion on the MVP award.
