Kenneth Walker Earns Patrick Mahomes' Trust as Chiefs Progress Undefeated
Newly found running back Kenneth Walker III has swiftly earned the utmost trust of Patrick Mahomes in the Kansas City Chiefs' complex offense. As the undefeated Chiefs are going into their recent prime-time matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, Walker has emerged as a crucial explosive weapon alongside Mahomes.
Walker's Chiefs meet his old team this week in Seattle. There is definitely revenge available, but the Kansas City star isn't prepared to seek it.
“I’m just focused on critiquing the mistakes we made,” Walker said Wednesday, via the Associated Press. “Once we get to that point, we’ll see.”

In spite of the hot start, Walker is extremely focused on rectifying his mistakes in Kansas City's offense. It's a fresh, if not pretty encouraging approach. However, it does not match the results.
What does QB Patrick Mahomes have to say about this?
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes has a better perspective on this situation.
“I know it’s going to be a special moment for him to get back to the place where you kind of built your career, and won a Super Bowl,” Mahomes said Wednesday. “Those fans were the people around him for all that. A lot of those people were teammates he grew up with as well in the NFL. It will be a special moment for him."
“But at the end of the day,” Mahomes added, “we have to win a football game.”
The inclusion of Kenneth Walker III has created a transformation in the Kansas City Chiefs offense into a balanced unit that has decreased pressure on Patrick Mahomes. This performance has positioned the undefeated team as a strong contender for another championship run.
