Herschel Walker, 53, says he could still play in the NFL

[gimmesix]

I'm still kicking rocks with this running back group, so I say, bring him in!

See if Emmitt and Dorsett think they can still play, too.

 

[RedLine]

The Cowboys need him so they can trade him to the Vikings again.

Truthfully, I would love to see Hershel try a come back, if it can be done he is the guy to do it.

 

[Avery]

I'm sure you could come back, Herschel. This article just screams to me 'Well, I would come back, but...'. At the vet minimum, he'd be able to at least buy a nice house outright for a year's work.

He can't run a 4.3 or a 4.4 anymore unless it's hand-timed by someone with an itchy trigger finger and nearsightedness.

He was Big, fast and a very mediocre football player. I am grateful though that he went to Minnesota and helped the Cowboys win 3 Super Bowls

To be fair, how old was the personality giving the interview?

 

[The Quest for Six]

And Jim Brown still says he could play in the NFL...enough of the stupid talk!!!

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Ehhhh...a play here and there. Yeah of course he could. Probably any former player who kept themselves in good shape could come in and play 2 or 3 snaps here and there.

Would they contribute anything? Very little, if anything.

LOL. Anyone who watched Herschel Walker play would not call him a mediocre football player.

Minnesota's wishing he could have played when he was 28

Jim Brown did the same thing...must be way football players go thru mid age crisis

 

[Maxmadden]

I would pay to see him. But ihad such high hopes for him as a ballet mans and then an FBI mans and then a manager of a marital arts gym.

Don't forget the bobsled man.

Vikings didn't know how to use him properly. Eagles had. A little better handle on it but by that time he was 30 and over.

 

[rags747]

Short yardage pkg anyone?

 

[RS12]

I am sure LBs all over the league fantacize about splattering 53 Y/O RBs all over the field.

 

[tyke1doe]

He should have attended the veteran combortion. Michael Bush after running a 5.2 forty - "My career is over."

I so hard after hearing that. At least he was honest.

I like Herschel and admire his "can do" attitude. But he wouldn't last a week playing NFL football at age 53. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.

 

[chris1995]

Too many hits to the head

 

[jnday]

Bring him in for a workout, the publicity alone would make it worthwhile!

I agree. He might end up as on the roster considering his competition.

I can see it now, the three horsemans of the acropolis.
