I don't think he's the best athlete. Guys like Bo and Deion probably don't agree.

He did try and commit suicide after viking trade. Running car in closed garage. Fortunately he was unsuccessful. Being a big fan of mma, i followed his career in that field. Lots of victories against nobodies. But i always liked him.

I think "amazing" would have been a more accurate video title. There have been numerous NFL players who were much more "crazy" than Hershel.

 

[conner01]

With all of his stats between rushing, receiving and returns he deserves to be in the HOF. Add in his pre NFL career and he would be a lock. Great human being and looks like he could still play today.

And how many other players can ride a bobsled lol

 

[JoeKing]

Today he is still a good dude, has a good head on his shoulders.

Joe Don Looney was the craziest athlete in NFL history — figuratively and literally.

Great story

Deion wouldn't even attempt to tackle him, so he's out. You could make an argument for Bo, but why?

Haha. Me too. I loved the 80s except for the fact that the Cowboys didn't win anything during that time.

you know what I will take the 80's with a losing record over what we have now lol mind you i was a Seahawk fan at that time

Unfortunately I can't change the title of the video, but I think he meant "craziest" as in "most amazing".

Hi-Vis jackets to be worn at all times whilst on site?

 

[Runwildboys]

I think we should all be thanking Herschel for the 90's teams as much as we thank Jimmy for them.

 

[The Fonz]

Walker may have been the extreme example, but he wasn't alone in regards to a good work ethic going back to the 80s. He probably showed up to camp already in shape. Today I think guys show up to camp to get back in shape. Probably why you see a lot of injuries early on. With the money these guys make today they're probably focused on having fun in the off season, not conditioning.

I think even at his age now he is in better shape than some of our current players

I saw him not to long ago doing some kind of workout routine. He still looks amazing and looks like he could play today.

I bet he could play in a limited role ..I think TO is also the same

Holy jeebus look at the size of those shoulder pads. That gives a lot more to grab onto. lol
Was Hershel as good as Bo?

 

[xwalker]

No surprise for Dallas fans:

I'm not going to dispute him.

He is one of the all time greatest athletes.

He has earned the right to make crazy claims about his workouts.

He outweighed Ron Brown by 45 pounds and Ron Brown was later an Olympic Gold Metal winner in track.

I would like to see a footrace between 50 something Herschel Walker and Zeke...

i'm biased...i think he was.
if Herschel had stayed at Georgia for his senior year...i'd love to see the numbers he would've posted at the combine.
also...would baltimore still take Elway...or do they go Herschel.

he severly seperated his shoulder in college and it continued giving him problems..so he wore those over-sized shoulder pads for protection.
i always liked'm....he looked like a monster in those things.
