Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III was named the Super Bowl MVP on Sunday, February 8, 2026, after leading his team to a dominant 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots to secure the Lombardi Trophy. Walker's historic performance on the NFL's biggest stage at the conclusion of the 2025-2026 season was the primary engine for the Seahawks' offense, providing the necessary yardage and momentum to maintain control over the Patriots throughout the championship matchup. His individual success served as the cornerstone of a Seattle strategy that emphasized a physical ground game to wear down the New England defense. Walker’s achievements during the game placed him in the elite company of NFL history, as he became only the sixth running back ever to be named Super Bowl MVP. His selection marks the first time a player at his position has received the honor in nearly three decades, with the last instance occurring in 1998 when Terrell Davis led the Denver Broncos to victory. Throughout the contest, Walker proved to be the focal point of the Seahawks' offensive scheme, carrying the ball 27 times for 135 rushing yards. Remarkably, Walker accounted for approximately 96 percent of Seattle’s 141 total rushing yards, demonstrating his absolute workhorse role within the backfield. While he did not find the end zone for a touchdown, Walker's impact was felt through his ability to consistently gain significant yardage and sustain long drives. His versatility was also on display as he contributed 26 receiving yards on two catches, totaling 161 yards from scrimmage. Key highlights of his performance included a dominant stretch in the second quarter where he recorded consecutive explosive runs of 30 and 29 yards, effectively flipping the field and setting the tempo for the remainder of the game. For the former Michigan State and Wake Forest standout, the MVP honors cap off a remarkable fourth professional season in Seattle.
