Walker's 173-yard debut is most impressive RB performance of Mahomes era.

In his Chiefs debut, Walker posted 173 rushing yards on 23 carries (7.5 yards per carry) with 1 rushing TD and 3 receptions for 18 yards and 1 receiving TD. This marked the most rushing yards a Chiefs running back has ever had in their team debut and ranks 15th all-time for the franchise in a single game. The source notes this was the most impressive performance by a running back of the Mahomes era and compares his skill set favorably to Kareem Hunt's 2018 season and Jamaal Charles' final season with the team in 2016, suggesting Walker represents a significant upgrade in the Chiefs' backfield.
