Kenneth Walker III Skips Seahawks Ring Ceremony as Chiefs Minicamp Ends on Same Day

3 articles · Updated · NBC Sports · Jun 12

Summary

  • Kenneth Walker III was the only member of the 2025 Seahawks not to attend Thursday night’s Super Bowl ring ceremony, despite saying after the draft that he planned to be there.
  • Thursday’s absence was not explained, but the most obvious reason is that the Chiefs’ mandatory minicamp also concluded that day, leaving his current team as the priority.
  • Walker, the Seahawks’ Super Bowl MVP, has already signaled that shift: he said during the 2025 season that he knew his future no longer included Seattle.
  • His focus now is on chasing a second ring in Kansas City while helping Patrick Mahomes pursue a fourth.
