Every article from now until the season starts could be about Kenneth Walker III and I’d be fine with that. He was the first of our drafted players whose name I knew, and it began because I watched Michigan vs Michigan State. Even #9 overall pick Charles Cross I only knew through reading and watching pre draft stuff. But Walker was the one I saw looking like a man among boys in a real football game and I was (and remain) so hyped that we drafted him. And I won’t let the naysayers and running backs don’t matter crowd ruin that.

Here’s to good health for Kenneth. Because I don’t see anything else potentially derailing a special career in the NFL. And after Penny and Procise, hopefully we’re due.

Some times it all comes down to who you believe- the talking heads or your lying eyes My eyes tell me this kid is a bigger Barry Sanders and a faster Marshawn Lynch ! He could have 8 great years like Shawn Alexander or break his leg his 1st game. News flash, there are no guarantees in life or football, but you can't make decisions based on worst case scenarios or you wouldn't get out of bed in the morning. Walker was ,by far , the best back in this draft and if the offense is based on RPO you need a good R. Why not the best?
