The move to Kansas City will also lead to more efficient looks for Walker, who saw stacked boxes (8-plus defenders) on nearly 22% of his carries over his first four seasons. Playing running back in a Mahomes-led offense certainly has its perks. For starters, you know opposing defenses will rarely ever hone in on stopping you.

Mahomes offense limits stacked boxes; Walker faced 22%, Pacheco faced 14.4%.

Kenneth Walker will benefit from playing in a Mahomes-led offense where opposing defenses will rarely stack the box against him. Walker saw stacked boxes (8-plus defenders) on nearly 22% of his carries over his first four seasons, but Isiah Pacheco saw stacked boxes on just 14.4% of his carries in 2025, the third-lowest rate among qualified running backs—a significant efficiency advantage Walker should enjoy.
