Kenneth Walker on returning to play Seattle Seahawks with Chiefs

Ken, what's the lead up to this week been like for you, the first one? It's been smooth, you know, treating like any other week. Just getting the plan down, you know, just getting ready for Sunday night. How much, if at all, have you stayed in touch with your former teammates? Quite a bit, you know, especially the running backs. I always talk to Zach, George, you know, all those guys. You know, some guys that's not even on the team, I still talk to them. It looks like Zach is going to make his debut. I mean, how cool is it that you get to go back and he gets to return from injury in the same game? Yeah, honestly, it's just good to see that he's made progress and he had a team behind him and got through the rehab. I know he's doing all the right things to get back on that field as quick as possible, so it's good to be able to see him come out there and play. Ken, during a week like this, do you have contact with those guys? Do you avoid contact with the guys you're friends with? How do you treat that? I've just been treating like any other week. You know, man, that's good talk. Yeah, it's just like any other week. I don't think too much into that. do you expect any additional emotion sunday night i don't know i haven't really thought that either i know i'll talk to you about a little stuff but um i guess we're gonna see how it goes sunday night i asked coach reed about you know his emotion and his feeling when he went back to philly when he came here has he shared any of that with you no no it was mainly me and he'd be talking about you going to a former team and how he felt about stuff and you know just giving me pointers and stuff like that but yeah um i just you just can't make it big you know what it is. You know I'm not the only one on this team. You know everybody's going out there and playing a game. I feel like it should be just about me. A couple things. Seattle's defense, you know you're going to get some practice and all that. What do they look like this year? Just as good or better as it was last year. You know a great defense, real detailed. They play sound football. They've got great players all across the board. So we've got to be detailed, you know, locked in on the details. You got to hear the roar of the crowd here. You got to hear it there. Two of the best stages, people say, to go play in. I mean, just compare what it's been like. You've been an opponent here, too, right? This is your first time being an opponent there. Like most fans, they're great, you know. It's going to be a loud atmosphere, and we know that. So, you know, we got to be on point on offense and defense. Ken, you'll be the first reigning Super Bowl MVP to ever play his former team the next year. When you hear something like that, I guess what comes to mind? You know, I didn't even know that, So I guess that's something that just didn't happen. Yeah.
