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

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.

Walker was unable to find the end zone — in fact, Seattle’s only offensive touchdown came from A.J. Barner. However, Walker’s dominance on the ground helped get Seattle into scoring position. Jason Myers went 5-for-5 on his field-goal attempts after Walker’s ground-and-pound effort.

Walker’s 135 yards on the ground are tied for the eighth-most in Super Bowl history and the second most he has ever had in a game, including playoffs.

Walker’s rushing prop had been hovering around 70 yards, which he surpassed in the first half.

The Seahawks won the game, 29-13, over the New England Patriots for their second Lombardi Trophy.

Ring highlights include 50 white diamonds around the logo in honor of the team's 50th season, a piece of a game ball inside the ring, a removable topper that can be used as a chain pendant and much more.
