Michigan State football star Kenneth Walker III is on his way to the NFL after being drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the second round of the 2022 NFL draft. Naturally, Twitter had a lot to say about the pick, both positive and negative.
We will take a look at the positive reactions first:
YES!!!
Kenneth Walker is my Russell Wilson & Tyler Lockett over the last decade. Just simply one of my favorite players in all of college football.
Look MSU Coach Mel Tucker in the eyes, as I did a few times, & ask him about Walker & you’ll know why SEA made this pick

Kenneth Walker III is the pick for Seattle at No. 41. The Seahawks get one of this draft's best RBs early in the second round and fill what is a bigger need than you might think. Chris Carson is coming off neck surgery and Rashaad Penny has a long injury history. https://t.co/e6TtevZch9

Kenneth Walker is my my favorite rb in the draft. He will run you over. Run by you. Or break your ankles. To me he is the man!! @Seahawks got a steal in my opinion. And then to get Mafe who is big strong and explosive. Way to “F”in go Seattle

Thank god. I'm stoked on Kenneth Walker. Would pick him over Willis any day

When watching new #seahawk back Kenneth Walker's 5 TD game against Michigan and thinking at the time: This is one of the rare college backs who reminds me of Curt Warner (@Curt28Warner). This feels like a home-run draft pick!

Kenneth Walker is about to be the reincarnation of beast mode in Seattle

Kenneth Walker is actually a solid pick for the seahawks

Kenneth Walker can easily take away Rashaad Penny’s workload either by impressing the coaches (he’s talented enough that that’s won’t be hard) or Penny having another injury. Penny probably wishes he signed elsewhere.
As do my Penny shares. https://t.co/yVoTafhcFD

Kenneth Walker III to Seattle is really nice.

I won’t argue with any Seahawks fans who are pumped about the Kenneth Walker pick. Be hyped and don’t let anyone kill that vibe! Should be a super fun player on a team that loves to run the football. I have zero doubt Walker is an elite talent.

Not everyone loved the pick though, on the next page you can see some of the more negative reactions.
There were some Seahawks fans out there who didn’t like the pick…
Mafe was a good pick, but Kenneth Walker? This team man…

The Seahawks are so predictable. I get why they drafted a RB, I just deeply disagree with the decision. https://t.co/wSpCqwPDUi

Kenneth Walker is a great player but man 2nd round 😭

Just got back from a meet and my phone died so I couldn’t see who the Seahawks took.
Love Boye Mafe pick
Love Kenneth Walker but over Malik? Come on. I bet they are thinking a majority of the QBs will fall to the 3rd or will try to trade back up. Imo Carson and a 6th to tradeup— Depressed Seahawks Fan (@daddykylekuzma) April 30, 2022
Kenneth Walker is a good RB
Kenneth Walker was a bad pickBoth can be true

Y'all don't even know just how mad I am at Seattle pic.twitter.com/wUNj32Oti0

I hope Kenneth Walker does well tho fr.
Just not a position of need AT ALL.
— SB (@WindowsMeUser) April 30, 2022
It's not like I think Walker is a bad football player. Little concerned he's a two-down guy. It's just there were OL and CB that make more sense, and there's a ton of RBs who are interesting on Day 3. I hope Kenneth Walker is Jonathan Taylor mixed with Barry Sanders. Shrug.

I like Kenneth Walker III as a player and he might be very good for Seattle but I just didn't see the need to take a RB so early. #NFLDraft
