From the article

One week after producing a career-high 191 yards from scrimmage during his Chiefs debut in Week 1, a total helped by Walker's league-best 14 broken tackles, he finished with 117 rushing yards on 24 carries and added 61 yards receiving against the Colts. Walker has looked every bit the missing piece capable of taking pressure off of Mahomes on the ground and opening up the passing game.

Walker's 191 Week 1 yards and league-best broken tackles establish him as Mahomes' pressure-relief piece.

Walker produced 191 yards from scrimmage in Week 1 debut (league-best 14 broken tackles) and followed with 117 rushing yards on 24 carries plus 61 receiving yards in Week 2 against the Colts. The source notes Walker has "looked every bit the missing piece capable of taking pressure off of Mahomes on the ground and opening up the passing game." Chiefs average 5.96 yards after contact with Walker, by far the league's highest (Ravens second at 3.95); Chiefs ranked dead last in this metric the prior two seasons. Walker is breaking tackles at a "superhuman rate."
