Historic debut: Walker shines in opener

“I had seen who he was throwing to come behind me, so I just filled in to where he threw the ball to,” Walker said. “Once I got up field, I recognized he was about to try to dunk it somewhere around where I was and once he released it, his eyes made contact to where he was about to throw it and I just felt like I could go and get it.”

And if Walker said his performance wasn’t enough considering the game’s outcome, he did say one play in his first professional game stood out for a special reason.

“I’d say the interception,” Walker said. “I called my dad and told him I had a decent week in practice, that I caught a pick in practice and scored. So, I told him I was going to get one in the game. So, it was special for me to actually get a pick in the game like I told my dad I was going to do.”
