===Denver Broncos=== The Packers traded Walker to the Denver Broncos for a second round pick in the [[2006 NFL draft]] (later used by the [[Atlanta Falcons]] to select [[Jimmy F. Williams]]) on April 29, 2006. He signed a five-year deal worth more than $40 million, including roster bonuses totaling $15 million in 2007 and 2008. Walker recovered from his previous injury, and was productive during the 2006 season. He caught sixty-nine passes for 1,084 yards and eight touchdowns. Following the Broncos' season finale against the [[San Francisco 49ers]], Walker was in a vehicle that was shot at in downtown [[Denver, Colorado|Denver]], killing teammate [[Darrent Williams]]. After Williams was shot, he fell into Walker's lap. In memory of Williams, Walker wore a hairstyle called the "fro-hawk", made famous by Williams, to begin the 2007 season.<ref>[http://cbs11tv.com/sports/local_story_001120853.html Drive-By Shooting Kills NFL Cornerback In Denver - report by CBS11 TV, Dallas/Fort Worth] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927121106/http://cbs11tv.com/sports/local_story_001120853.html |date=September 27, 2007 }}</ref> Walker said in an interview with [[Andrea Kremer]] of [[HBO]]'s ''Real Sports'' that the attacks likely stemmed from a confrontation with bar patrons involving rookie wideout [[Brandon Marshall]] and his cousin.
