10 NFL Players Positioning Themselves For A Breakthrough 2026 Season

Looking to be leader in KC Walker has outlined how he wants to be a veteran mentor to the younger players in the running back room with the Chiefs, Ed Easton Jr. of Chiefs Wire reports.

Impact Walker is entering his fifth NFL season, and his first with the Chiefs, but in a league where the average career lasts 3.3 years, he can be considered a veteran. The running back inked a lucrative three-year, $43.05 million contract with Kansas City in March, leaving Seattle after four productive seasons, the last of which culminated in a 29-13 victory over the Patriots in Super Bowl LX, a game in which Walker was named MVP. Walker turned 221 carries into 1,027 rushing yards and five touchdowns while also adding 31 catches for 282 yards over 17 regular-season contests in 2025. The 25-year-old has now joined a running back room that includes rookie Emmett Johnson and second-year pro Brashard Smith. "I want them to learn quicker than I learned. I don't want there to be a drop-off at all. So, making sure those guys are good. They have been doing great," said Walker about the youngsters. Regardless of his affinity for his teammates, Walker is the obvious top option in the Chiefs' backfield in 2026, and he'll look to become the team's first 1,000-yard rusher since Kareem Hunt in 2017.
