Walker during his college days was a freak. There was a big controversy at the time because the pros wanted to get their hands on him before he graduated. The guy wasn't cutting is academically and only was accepted into the school because he was an athlete. Many were saying to just cut the crap already because nobody is getting fooled. Walker was no student. He was a gifted athlete so just let him play in the pros rather than risk getting injured in college and walk away with nothing.
Damn
You have no idea what you're talking about. Herschel was an excellent student both in high school(he was class valedictorian) and college(he graduated with a degree). He's on record as saying that he taught himself to both read and write prior to middle school. He invested wisely and is an operating partner for a very successful chicken prep company that is rumored to be worth nearly 200 million. He's no dummy.
Then I take back what I said. I was just going by the hearsay at the time not on any facts. The NFL was trying to justify taking a kid not yet out college to play pro making the argument that he was primarily an athlete and not a student.
1983-1997 and you don't think he used steroids? HAHA You're a fucking epic dumbshit. I bet you don't think any black football players use steroids right? They are all just genetic marvels with physiques that rival bodybuilders? I guess guys like Walker would use coke and other drugs but would NEVER touch those awful steroids right? And I'm the idiot? LMAO! Getbiggers.......land of idiots. Oh and Walker even says himself he was an overweight kid...........Walker: Yes. I was extremely overweight as a kid, and I had a very bad stuttering problem. I really had no friends, and I got beaten up a lot.Black dudes toe the genetic line most often because they are full of shit and straight up liars. Not to say blacks don't have great genetics when it comes to putting on muscle and getting ripped................bu t they are not THAT genetically superior to every other human being on Earth.
Hershel is just a flat out genetic freak. Looks great for any age.
true
I think Hershel is one of the very, very few guys who could have went straight from high school to the NFL.When he was a freshman he looked like a man playing against boys.
HERSCHEL WASN'T DRAFTED OUT OF COLLEGE BY THE NFL - HE WAS THE VERY FRST PICK EVER IN THE UPSTART USFL, NEW JERSY GENERALS.
Yes, he did. Georgia fans look at Hershel Walker as a god!!
Georgia fans were pretty lucky back then. They had possibly the best college football and basketball players in the country, Hershel Walker and Dominique Wilkins. They were at the very least the 2 most exciting to watch, playing for the same school at the same time. I really wish the USFL would have never offered Walker so much more money than the NFL. It was great for him then, but losing those 3 prime years probably cost him from being a Hall of Famer. I'm not a Georgia fan, but I'm a Cowboy fan and always loved Hershel. But I think he really lifted weights, ate like a normal athlete and most likely juiced.
47?? unreal.
