SANTA CLARA, CA. –– Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III was voted the winner of the Pete Rozelle Trophy awarded to the Super Bowl LX Most Valuable Player.
“We have so many weapons; I thought we were going to spread the ball around,” Walker said. “I just want to make the best impact on my team any way I can.”
Walker rushed for 135 yards, averaging 5.0 yards per carry, and added 26 receiving yards on two receptions, totaling 161 yards from scrimmage in helping the Seahawks to a 29-13 win over the New England Patriots.
“You go through a lot of adversity in life and in football,” Walker added. “This year we had a lot of ups and downs but as a team we stuck together. That brother hood, I would not be here if it was not for those guys.”

“When I get one on one, I don’t want to be tackled,” Walker added. “I try to make a move get north and try to get in that end zone.”
