Ken Walker’s film is filled with illustrative examples of what running with a low center of gravity can do for an NFL career. Matt Waldman’s RSP Film Room investigates. 

Ken Walker is the best runner of play designs to the perimeter in the NFL. He’s blessed with excellent quickness, acceleration, and speed. He has also developed a strong understanding of how to set up creases while working laterally. That’s not always the case for an athlete of his caliber.

The source of Walker’s lateral agility, explosion in and out of cuts, curvilinear speed, power, and contact balance is how he cultivates a low center of gravity as a runner. His ability to run with his knees and hips consistently bent makes him an athlete who can uncoil like a spring and unleash explosive movements.

This RSP Film Room digs into Walker’s Week 1 performance against the Denver Broncos with this skill as the central theme.

If you’re scouting running backs, Walker’s tape is instructive because there are a lot of bigger backs who lack his tackle-shedding ability and more explosive backs whose athletic ability can’t be applied with Walker’s versatility.
