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

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 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.
