Part of the season the Geno Smith Seahawks have been able to thrive so much this year is due to the exploits of one Kenneth Walker III. The rookie running back has slowly improved every week and is now a galvanizing force for a Seattle that seems to enjoy bullying everyone.
Walker’s latest performance in a 37-23 drubbing of the Chargers was easily his most impressive effort to date. The big tailback tallied up 168 rushing yards and two touchdowns on just 23 carries. Los Angeles had no answer for the young budding star who seemingly found a way to get to the second level at will.
It’s what happened after this 74-yard touchdown that is drawing some attention for Walker:

You can’t see it on the broadcast replay of that score, but Walker is actually waving at a Chargers fan who, let’s say, wasn’t “happy” when she flashed him two middle fingers at Walker for giving the Seahawks an insurmountable lead.
A couple of days after, Walker decided to make light of this incident by changing his Twitter profile picture to his interaction with that fan as if to say he’s going to be a regular sight in the end zone — whether anyone likes it or not.
(Note: NSFW fingers ahead!)

Oh, my goodness? There’s trolling opposing fanbases; then there’s putting it up for all the world to see on social media on your personal profile. Walker is having quite the rookie season, so he’s probably earned these kinds of trolling flowers.
