Herschel Walker football career. Legendary

[@Brad88ford]

Two of the Greatest athletes Bo Jackson and Herschel Walker in the 80s. They were amazing!

[@gigapus5050]

Got that right and to this day still haven't seen anything like them.

[@losoj30]

Put this man in the HALL OF FAME!!!!!

[@robertwiles8106]

He's blackballed because he took on liberalism.

[@mickeywoodward3921]

What a life he has lived! Incredible man! What a dominant force on the football field. I’m 60, I don’t think he received the recognition he deserved.

[@jakebarnes1950]

I'm 73 and I think he has more than he deserves.

[@GusMitchell-mh7pl]

I attended UGA during Hershel’s last year there. Got to see him play, he was unstoppable .

[@JohnnyBallgame88]

GOAT RB in college football

[@Dinan5iver2]

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.

[@user-jt2mr7uj1y]

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]

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.

[@powell4661]

His accomplishments on the football field should place him in the Hall of Fame. Imagine if he had played his senior year at Georgia.

[@dennissaunders5247]

Walker was legendary, in college and in professional football, track and field, an Olympian and Mma fighter. INCREDIBLE VERSATILITY. He runs for office as a conservative and now the INSANE LIBERAL WOKE A HOLES, CALL HIM A RACIST.

[@grovepeate3316]

Shafer Suggs , Generals DB told me he was a Thoroughbred, hit harder then anyone he ever played against as a Jet strong safety.

[@JosephSachitano]

Walker....over the top.!!!

[@hushson9411]

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!

[@nunyabizznizz7326]

without HW, the 90's cowboys wouldnt have won those chips.......they got so many picks in the trade, they remade the whole team

[@ericnovella]

We need more videos

[@BGuitard689]

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.

[@bamaboi6845]

He's a even better 🦝

[@jsigur157]

To my mind Walker had a high bar to jump in the NFL and didn't make it/ Maybe if he had played on a championship team, that would have done it

[@truthbtold2910]

Warrior. His legacy was tarnished by playing for a handful of 500 or below football teams.

[@oppdawg6380]

There’s no question that Herschel Walker was the absolute best player in college football his freshman season .Everyone associated with college football in any capacity knew Walker should have definitely won the Heisman trophy hands down.Life ain’t so fair sometimes.

[@user-il7gu6kr4h]

I do know that he loves his old boss even now, Donald Trump.

[@jjarnold220]

a true legend

[@pmo8135]

Legend of football

[@anthonyrichardson8355]

Well if it’s the pro football hof he should be in

[@jessem7556]

His daughter is a cheerleader at UCLA 😮

[@reddeserted13]

He was great in the NFL too

[@luisvilla799]

He was alright not Emmitt smith good

[@CCC303THIZZ]

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

[@madtownangler]

And then he wupped his old lady but that was one of his imaginary selves LOL.

[@brianmorgan4816]

The greatest all around athlete outside of Jesus Christ. I still wear one of his real jerseys on Saturdays.

[@ickystrashcan....anothersm9749]

Jesus wasn't anything special ... At sports ...walking on water Isnt a sport... Long distance sabbatical walking is an activity...not sport...

[@jakebarnes1950]

Did Jesus sign his jersey for you?

[@noelhernandez363]

Tarnished by playing in the USFL!!

[@kireality]

He lived up to the hype and exceeded his draft status. He was a franchise back.

[@RedLeo-pf9yo]

USFL was offering more money for superstars.

[@1BarryMoore]

I think he really had to go to USF (financially).

[@MauriceAnderson-wx5dr]

President President

[@freeplax17]

Meh he never lived up to the hype in college. He had a long good career but never made it to Emmitt or Barry levels of play as a RB in the NFL

[@davidmclane4035]

Greatest football player ever. Period.

[@jakebarnes1950]

Not even close.

[@nealstampley1546]

This guy was awesome

[@SEVEN-gy3ub]

Do a vid on 'How good was Steve Largent' please.

[@MosheGoldbergTheKing]

Still one of the most amazing RBs I've ever seen. Legend. He belongs in the Hall Of Fame, along with Bo Jackson. Jerry Burns has to be one of the worst head coaches in NFL history

[@Billy-ml1si]

Ask the 1980 teams he played unstoppable quick get my gun I will stop him my uncle said in Tennessee he was watching the game I said I don't think that will stop him it will blow your tv up

[@josephdiaz9640]

Hershel Walker , Bo Jackson, and Earl Campbell....Big boys 🏈

[@jvarga2]

as a vikes fan.. i hated him as a player.. so definitely would say no way to HOF

[@Samrothstein87]

Hershel should really get a Super Bowl ring or two from the Cowboys. Without Johnson fleecing the Vikings for him the Cowboys never win a championship.

[@eugeneariz4395]

Great football player. Sucks as a father husband and being human.

[@fulcrumsee5968]

Uncle Herschel's Cabin

[@JohnDoe-oo4ru]

He was horrible as a politician!

[@elgainus]

Generational athlete, PERIOD. 1: Deion Sanders 2:Hershel Walker 3: Bo Jackson Let the debating begin!!

[@user-lc2vg6ry1t]

He's real good as long as he stay away from politics 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@entrepreneurcorner4146]

He was just on bad teams

[@Littleboy1976]

He lost a lot of respect from black Americans because he's a Republican or should I say Conservative. 😢

[@benmclinjr9607]

Losing all my respect for being a liberal and not supporting family values. He gained respect. Period. Wow. What a sheep.

[@samright4661]

😢😢more clown

[@benmclinjr9607]

This is hate speech youtube. Lol. Dude making up shit

[@user-jp8zy5oj1v]

Overrated player north south runner with a little bit of wiggle The Viking GM needed to be fired after trading for him the level of stupidity -I think of All the Presidents Men ""despite what some people think these people really aren't very bright "
