Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker misses Seahawks' ring ceremony after signing $45M deal with Chiefs

Kenneth Walker III is on to a next chapter in the NFL despite winning Super Bowl LX with the Seattle Seahawks. The newest Kansas City Chiefs star commented on his new beginning with his team, and dismissed words from his former GM.

The Seattle Seahawks received their Super Bowl rings on Thursday night, but one person from the team was notably absent: the game's Most Valuable Player.

Kenneth Walker earned Super Bowl LX honors in Santa Clara after he had 27 carries for 135 yards, making him by far the best offensive player on the field.

Walker had no choice but to be the bell cow for the Seahawks after Zach Charbonnet tore his ACL in the NFC Championship game two weeks prior.

But there was a price to pay for the Seahawks, as Walker signed a three-year, $45 million deal with the Kansas City Chiefs a month later.

Walker was the only member of the championship-winning team to not be in attendance, but it should be noted that the Chiefs' mandatory minicamp still took place on Thursday.

By the second quarter, Walker had already joined Timmy Smith and Marcus Allen with multiple 25-yard runs in a Super Bowl.
