Seattle Seahawks: Overreactions from Game 3 loss to Atlanta

The next Seahawks stud running back is on the team

Much was made when the Seattle Seahawks selected Kenneth Walker III in the second round. Well, he finally showed off why in this game. In the third quarter, on first and ten, the Seahawks lined Walker up out wide. They brought him in motion and handed it off to him.

Walker ran around a great block by tight end Colby Parkinson on what initially appeared to be a solid seven-yard gain. After slipping out of a would-be tackler’s grasp, he reversed course and turned up field to finish with a gain of 21-yards!

While this run isn’t on the level of the Beast Quake, it is still a very impressive play. It also shows exactly why the Seattle Seahawks chose to select Walker.

There is a legacy of great Seattle Seahawks running backs. It started with Sherman Smith and included stars like Curt Warner, John Williams, Chris Warren, Ricky Watters, Shaun Alexander, Marshawn Lynch, and Chris Carson.

For now, Rashaad Penny is still the starter and will be until his contract is up. However, when Penny is no longer the lead back in Seattle, Walker will take over.

Up next, the Seattle Seahawks travel East to take on Detroit. Here Seattle will look to bounce back from this week’s loss. Maybe one day, this team will win another football game.
