Kansas City Chiefs fans, get ready—there's a new powerhouse in the backfield, and he's ready to make his mark. Running back Kenneth Walker, who joined the team less than two months ago, recently sat down with Kay Adams on FanDuel TV's "Up & Adams" to share insights into his game and his excitement for the upcoming season.

When asked about his preferred formation for running the ball, Walker didn't hesitate to reveal his favorite: under center. "I can do both," he said, "but obviously, my favorite is under. I feel like I can see the field better and everything. But whatever system they want me in or situation they put me in, I feel like I can make a play in anything." This preference could signal a shift for a Chiefs offense that ranked 29th in plays with the quarterback under center in 2025. With longtime running backs coach Eric Bieniemy returning as offensive coordinator, expect a renewed focus on power running and creative play-calling that gets the most out of Walker's vision and explosiveness.

Walker isn't just thinking about ground gains—he's eager to expand his role in the passing game after catching just two touchdowns in four seasons with the Seattle Seahawks. "We've been working on getting connected in the pass game," he shared. "I feel like I'll be used more in the pass game. He's real good at being detailed with the whole team… I feel our chemistry is just going to keep building." That chemistry with quarterback Patrick Mahomes could turn Walker into a dual-threat weapon defenses will have to account for on every snap.

And if there's any doubt about Walker's motivation this season, just call it a revenge game. The soft-spoken Super Bowl MVP is laser-focused on proving he's the next star running back in Kansas City. With Bieniemy's intense coaching style already leaving an impression—"Intense," Walker described him. "From the first night I met him, we were just meeting up, going to dinner"—the stage is set for a breakout campaign. Whether it's under-center runs or catching passes from Mahomes, Walker is ready to make plays and help the Chiefs chase another title.
