@user-jt2mr7uj1y 15 дней назад

I took inspiration from Hershells' life because I, too, have been bullied at different stages in my life and I truly understand how that can either destroy a person internally and emotionally or can raise your standard of expectations in your life into the stratosphere [ only if you use that Hurt and pain] to push you beyond the limit. Instead of wallowing in misery you take that pain and turn it into Victory for yourself and those who truly value You. Just like Hershell Walker did. He is a man of morality, virtue, and good manners. I remember as a kid I wanted to be just like him

@krl97a 13 дней назад

His case is unique and based on his staggering All Purpose Yards total, but I've always argued that Walker belongs in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

@KennethFrierson-wt6xt 10 дней назад

Walker belongs in the Hall of Fame, period. Those guys he competed against in the USFL were pros and many would have been drafted in the NFL but, like Walker, chose to leverage the USFL opportunity for higher wages. The man is a hall of famer.

@timmyers9825 5 дней назад

I lived in Atlanta, 1980- 1985, and it was Hershel Heaven.There was a saying that everyone was in on , that we are all kin to Hershel. He was a regional cultural phenomenon .Alot of what he did, during college,was off the football field. He brought people together for good

Herschel is the ONLY NFL player to be a member of the triple-4000 club (4000 career rushing, receiving and return yards). He did that despite playing three of his prime years in another league. Unbelievable. Great video!

@kenconaway7681 7 дней назад

Herschel is one of the greatest athletes of all time. He’s not only that but he is a great American, a great leader of men and humble as the day is long. I worked with his father and brother in the 70s and know that he came from a strong family and community. That he was subjected to having an election stolen from him In the dead of night by Fulton county apparatchiks is a shame and a disgrace to the state of GA.

@louisphillips921 11 часов назад

Herschel Walker was an outstanding all around athlete I compare to the great Jim Brown! He should be in the top 20 NFL running backs of all times. He should already be inducted in the Football Hall Of Fame!

@argelbargel7680 2 дня назад

The one thing that could stop him was a Vikings jersey.

@Southprong59 10 дней назад

Herschel was the greatest college running back of all time and if he went straight to the NFL, he would have been one of the top 3 NFL backs of all time. Unfortunately, he played for some bad NFL teams, especially the Cowboys - just think how much better his stats would have been if the Cowboys had a good offensive line.

@JohnCollins-th8hm 10 дней назад

His freshman year at UGA, he was probably the best back ever. He digressed yearly after that,and was stil very good as a pro, but the way he ran his Freshman year is light years beyond anything he did after that.

@thomasblankinship98 5 дней назад

Everyone put 8 in the box just to slow him down. Remember, UGA had a QB that couldn't throw or run. But we had Herschel !

@kevinriddiough7752 11 дней назад

In 1994, at the age of 34, Herschel had a 90+ yard run, reception, and Kickoff return. I believe he is still the only player to have 3 90+ yard plays in the same season

@Southprong59 10 дней назад

You are correct . . . an amazing stat. Very few players have a 90+ yard play in their career, much less 3 in one year!

@BGuitard689 14 дней назад

First time watching your videos. Excellent content and production. I will look for the other ones. Perhaps a couple of interesting facts… IIRC, in those days underclassmen were not eligible for NFL draft, so it was a huge deal for Herschel Walker to forego is senior year to sign a huge $ contract by those days standards. It was also the first year of the USFL, the caliber was not comparable to the NFL.

His career was longer than the average life span of a black male in the hood That’s why he has so much yards If ya tells Davis could have kept his legs healthy He woulda blew out all stats He still has the most yards and TD’s in playoffs by a RB

@Southprong59 10 дней назад

He was better than Emmitt - Emmitt was very good, but Emmitt played on a very good Cowboys team; Herschel played on a bad Cowboys team - and compare the total all purpose yards.

@thomasblankinship98 5 дней назад

Emmit was nowhere near the back Walker was. He was a prima Donna. He was a good back in a great team. But it wasn't great until the cowboys traded Walker for 6-7 good players .

@johnhaas3270 3 дня назад

He was overrated And I’m a diehard Cowboys fan. He was big, strong and fast but he didn’t have any running ability. He didn’t know how to stop on a dime and cut the other way. He also didn’t have ability to find the home

@thomasblankinship98 5 дней назад

Wrong. He wasn't just a north south runner. He made serious cuts and was very good with a stiff arm. But if he got going and someone was in his way, he didn't mind lowering his head and shoulders and deliver the blow instead of taking shots. Many all American Line backers and DB's felt the burnt of trying not tackle Herschel.
