Walker suffered a quad injury during combine training per the report from ESPN draft analyst, Jordan Reid. He went on to report that Walker is expected to host a private workout for NFL Teams April 17th, giving the star defensive prospect an additional month to recover.

Walker's current average daft position according to NFL Mock Draft Database has him slotted to be selected with the 11th overall selection, going to the Arizona Cardinals. Walker has also been heavily linked to the Carolina Panthers throughout the process considering he is from the state of South Carolina and spent time in North Carolina growing up as well. The Panthers currently have the 8th overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Another team that has expressed interest during this process seems to be the Atlanta Falcons who have the 15th overall selection and have made it known they are in the need for defensive difference maker, a box that Walker certainly checks.
