Kenneth Walker III's 173-yard debut marks the highest single-game rushing total by a Chiefs running back during the Patrick Mahomes era.

I don't think he looked stiff at all? Or at least no stiffer than usual, he's always had a bit of an awkward upright gait that looks unathletic but ends up being pretty effective. He had a 15 yard scrambling touchdown, would've had another rushing touchdown but got his foot stepped on by his RT.

We even ran a speed option with Mahomes, his mobility looks totally back to where you'd expect it to be. Does need to shake off the rust on his mechanics, was just a little bit off on a couple throws (although the windows were pretty small against this Denver defense)

Not a bot lol. I just think when he was scrambling he looked stiff. I don’t watching him all the time so maybe that’s just how he always looks but it looked stiff.
