Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy pointed to pass blocking and receiving when asked if there is anything that RB Kenneth Walker could get better at.

08 June 2026

Speaking to reporters after practice last week, Bieniemy said that he wants Walker to understand “that we just have to become a better player when the ball is not in our hand.” That means Walker has to do a great job protecting the quarterback and be a great route runner on the perimeter. Bieniemy complimented Walker’s abilities as a rusher and said Walker is doing a heck of a job in practice, but Walker’s ticket to an elite season likely requires passing game participation. Walker is clearly the lead back here, but a run-centric workload could keep him in the RB2 ranks this season.
