RENTON, Wash. -- Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III was answering questions at the podium after an OTA practice earlier this month when Chad Morton, his position coach and the most vociferous instigator on Pete Carroll’s staff, chimed in from a few feet away.
“They stole that Rookie of the Year!” Morton shouted. “It should have been you!”
Morton, of course, was referring to how voters picked New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson as the 2022 AP Offensive Rookie of the Year, despite Walker outproducing him by five touchdowns and more than 100 scrimmage yards.
