Houston Roughnecks (2019-2020)
In October 2019, Walker was drafted by the Houston Roughnecks of the newly formed incarnation of the XFL. The Pittsburgh Steelers attempted to sign a contract with Walker, however, the XFL blocked this signing as Walker was already with the Roughnecks.

After this game, Walker was named star of the week for the league. In week 2, Walker and his team would narrowly prevail over the St. Louis Battlehawks, after the team's quarterback, Jordan Ta'amu, threw 2 interceptions, giving the Roughnecks the win, 28-24. In week 3, Walker would secure a win against the Tampa Bay Vipers, 34-27. In week 4, the Roughnecks competed in the "Texas Throwdown", a game between the two XFL teams in Texas, the Houston Roughnecks, and the Dallas Renegades. The Roughnecks would win the game after a costly sack from the Renegades' quarterback, Landry Jones, gave Houston a touchdown, securing them with the win, 27-20. In week 5, Walker would score another win against the Seattle Dragons, 32-23. Walker would leave the team after the cancellation of the rest of the season.
