Quay Walker’s Packers career hasn’t quite lived up to his first-round billing. Explosive and athletic, Walker would have been the perfect sidekick for De’Vondre Campbell had Campbell’s play not fallen off a cliff after signing a rich new contract in 2022 — and if Walker had held up his end of the bargain.
Outside of his spectacular pick-six in Week 1 of the 2023 season, Walker has largely been a liability on defense. His most notable hits have been on non-players, and he’s consistently been a step late in run defense.
Until Sunday, that is.
