Kenneth Walker Super Bowl 60 MVP

Kenneth Walker III paid out $700 for every $100 bet to be named Super Bowl 60 MVP. 

It's surprising but running backs have won the MVP 7 times all-time, yet **the most recent running back to win the award was Terrell Davis in Super Bowl XXXII (1998) — which is more than 20 years ago.

Walker rushed 19 times for 62 yards and a touchdown in the Seahawks’ NFC Championship win over the Rams, adding four catches for 49 yards on four targets.

Kenneth Walker thanked God first, another of the popular prop bets as to who the Super Bowl MVP would mention first.

Defense won this championship.

Devon Witherspoon, Derick Hall, Byron Murphy and the rest of Mike Macdonald’s ferocious unit pummeled Drake Maye, and the Seattle Seahawks beat the New England Patriots 29-13 on Sunday to win the franchise’s second Super Bowl.

Sam Darnold threw a touchdown pass to AJ Barner, Kenneth Walker III ran for 135 yards and Jason Myers set a Super Bowl record by making all five of his field-goal tries.

Seattle’s “Dark Side” defense helped Darnold become the first quarterback in the 2018 draft class to win a Super Bowl, ahead of Josh Allen, Baker Mayfield and Lamar Jackson.

“It’s a one-of-a-kind feeling, bro,” Witherspoon said. “You talk about a group of guys who battle every day, who believe in each other and believe in their coach, you can’t describe this group no better. It’s just a one-of-a-kind feeling. I was just so happy to battle with these guys. We went through a lot, but we believed. All of you all doubters out there who said all that other stuff, you all don’t know what’s going on in this building. We’re one of one over here.”
