The NFL announced that Kansas City Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker III and Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan are this week’s FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Week.
Walker recorded 20 carries for 175 yards and two touchdowns in the divisional win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Throughout the season, players will not be limited to winning only the air or ground award. The FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Year Awards will be announced at the NFL Honors ceremony in Los Angeles during the week of Super Bowl LXI.
