Walker originally joined the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2019 as an undrafted free agent. In 2019 he had 2 receptions for 15 yards in seven games and averaged 22.8 yards per return on kicks. He was placed on the COVID-19 list in early August but was activated five days later. The Jags later waived Walker, by putting him on the waiver/IR list. 

During his time in Chestnut Hill, Walker was used primarily as a punt returner, earning All ACC second team honors as a senior. His big moment came against Clemson in 2018 with an electric punt return for a touchdown that gave the Eagles their only lead of the game.

In his career at Boston College, Walker finished with a 25 yard average on kick returns, and 13.3 yards per punt return. In his time playing on offense he had 71 receptions for 847 yards and five touchdowns.
