The NFL has announced that Kansas City Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker III is a nominee for this week's FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Week Awards. Walker rushed for 102 yards and a touchdown while adding 41 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns in the Week 9 victory over the New York Jets.

As part of FedEx's expanded work with Feeding America and longstanding commitment to addressing food insecurity, Walker's honor would also spark a $2,000 donation to Harvesters – The Community Food Network, a local Kansas City food bank in the Feeding America network.

Walker earns his third nomination of the season. In addition to taking the award home in weeks 4 and 6, he's been named a FedEx Air & Ground Player of the Week two more times during his career.
