    As someone who was in Middle School at that time it is almost impossible to describe his impact. He was like a superhuman to most of us back then.

    Herschel Walker IS a beast,got to see him play live in college and the NFL.Absolutely ran all over people.Always showed up to play an showed a lot of class.

      We played him in high school. I'm younger than him, but I remember him for he was towering above the other players in the huddle. He ran all over us. Straight beast. Saw him when we hosted the track meets. We had a very fast guy but Herschel blew him away in the 100 yard dash.

      He should have gone straight into the NFL. One season in the USFL Walker ran for 2500 yard! One season! He should have played his best years in the NFL.

    My dad and I were at the game sitting in the end zone that Walker scored his first touchdown in. To watch the play develop was amazing. The defensive back took a bad angle on the toss sweep. To see him have to stop in his tracks and try to recover to no avail was simply something I’ll never forget!!

    I watched 1980 Herschel Walker and then watched your video of 1983 Bo Jackson.
    Now, you would really be a miracle worker if you could find some film also from 1983 on freshman Greg Allen, FSU's RB who ran for 202 yards against LSU in Baton Rouge and the following week ran for an NCAA record of 323 yards against Western Carolina.

      There’s a reason why Herschel Walker, Bo Jackson, and Marcus Dupree all have 30 for 30’s on them. All athletic phenoms (size, speed, and strength).
      Adrian only finished second in the Heisman as a true freshman after starting only half the year.

    I was excited when the Eagles acquired him in 92. People don’t realize he only had two 1000 yard seasons- one with the cowboys and one with the eagles. He was frustrating- usually a two yard gain but then he’d break a 60 yarder. He definitely didn’t have the lateral, shifty moves of superior backs but his breakaway speed was world class. Too bad i now think he’s a nincompoop.
