Walker appeared on ESPNās February 9 segment of NFL Live to reflect on the championship win. When former player and current analyst Ryan Clark asked him what he did after securing the title, Walker surprised him with a simple, heartwarming answer. āTell me at some point last night, yāall got lit,ā Clark asked. āI just chilled with my family,ā Walker responded.
