NFL scout compares Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker to Le’Veon Bell

Following his breakout performance in Week 5 against the New Orleans Saints, Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III has unseated Breece Hall for the title of best rookie runner in the NFL.

The Michigan State alum has been so impressive through seven games, in fact, that one anonymous NFL scout told the Score’s Jordan Schultz that Walker reminded him of another former Spartan and NFL great, Le’Veon Bell.

“I’m not going to say he’s better than Bell because there was a five-year stretch when Le’Veon was the best in the league,” the scout said. “But I’m not going to say he won’t get there, either. He’s faster than Le’Veon, more explosive. Le’Veon was a very talented runner who really saw the field. His reads were what separated him. That takes time, but in terms of raw tools, Walker’s right there with him.”
