Walker, who has drawn comparisons to elite defenders, has long admired Philadelphia’s defense, and their dominant performance in the 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs only reinforced that sentiment.

The Eagles secured their title behind a commanding ground game, led by Saquon Barkley’s 97 total yards. Quarterback Jalen Hurts contributed with 221 passing yards, two touchdowns and a touchdown on the ground.

Hurts, named Super Bowl MVP, completed 17 of 22 passes for 221 yards, throwing two touchdowns and one interception. He also ran for 72 yards and a score. Reflecting on his journey, Hurts stated,

"Personally, myself, I've just been able to use every experience and learn from it," Hurts said. "The good, the bad, all of it, using it as fuel to pursue my own greatness. I couldn't do any of these things without the guys around me."
