In 2022, Walker started the first three games of the season before sustaining a season-ending injury in Week 3 against the Steelers. Walker thought his football career might be done at that point but he spent the rest of the 2022 season at the Browns’ CrossCountry Mortgage campus where he continued to workout, rehab and fight his way back to football. Walker continued to make sure his presence was felt throughout the team and remained a leader for his teammates, showing up every day and helping his team in any way he could.
After 11 and a half months on the sidelines, Walker was named a team captain for the second straight season and has started all 11 games he’s played in this year compiling 37 tackles (16 solo), four passes defensed and one fumble recovery.
Walker’s leadership continues off the field in the community where just this year he has volunteered at several community events and sometimes attends multiple per week. The Browns focus on three community pillars: youth football, education and social justice. Walker has spent a majority of his time and energy on his off days focusing on the three community pillars of the Browns: youth football, education and social justice and how he can impact the community in these spaces.
