Kenneth Walker III is finishing a year of firsts in the NFL. On Saturday, the rookie running back out of Michigan State added yet another accomplishment to his list.
Playing in the NFL Playoffs for the Seattle Seahawks, Walker punched in a 7-yard touchdown against the San Francisco 49ers. The first-half touchdown kept the game close in sloppy conditions, and the ground game could prove crucial on a rain-soaked field.
