Herschel Walker USFL Highlights
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 окт 2017
- A nearly complete highlight video of Herschel Walker's legendary 1985 season for the New Jersey Generals. The star attraction of Donald Trump's circus, Walker started the season slowly but started to hit his strite at about the midpoint of the season. By season's end, Walker was flashing all of the skills that had made him the best runningback in SEC history at Georgia.
All of the games that I took clips from can be found on the following channel. USFL forever is the best place to look if you're curious about the United States Football League: ruclips.net/user/TheUSFL2...

Herschel Walker is just a fascinating athlete and man. 1980 Olympic track and field team, Heisman trophy winner, USFL star, NFL star, 1992 Olympic bobsled team, MMA, successful businessman....... Just amazing
Stephen Powell except he was not actually on the 1980 US Olympic track team
Wife beater, liar, mentally deranged. Yep, wonderful guy. A great athlete? Absolutely. A great man? Absolutely not.
Herschel and Maurice were AWESOME! Doug Flutie was a fine QB as well. Herschel was like an M-1 Abrams Tank at full speed. He was fast, athletic and very very strong! I hope he wins the Senate race in GA. A great athlete and man!
Amazing highlight video of Herschel Walker & Maurice Carthon. What a tandem!!!
Never understood the Bo hype when Herschel was basically a healthier version of Bo before Bo even came on to the scene…Herschel is possibly a top 5 specimen in the history of sports fr…strength size speed man was a monster among boys
Walker started out in the USFL so the first 3 years of his accomplishments weren’t notice by as many fans. But like you said, he was like a super human on the field. Loved watching him play in college. Back then some RBs would go catch deep passes like WRs. They were athletes who could do anything on the field.
Amazing speed.
You're right about that. 10.23 in the 100 meters is blazing!
Damn PockyCandy! You really came from left field with this one. Nobody else would've even dreamed of showing this! I loved the USFL! Great video 📹 man!
Yeah, I just made this on a whim. It's something different, and like you said, no one else has made a video like it before. USFL content in general is very lacking (although the other Herschel Walker USFL video on youtube is pretty darn good). I'm glad you liked it so much!
Ever noticed the greatest running backs have had the number 34? Herschel Walker, Walter Payton, Earl Campbell, Bo Jackson, Thurman Thomas
Yup, for a while, it seemed like every good RB I made a video of wore #34.
Walter payton fans why they wore 34
Thurman Thomas!!😂😂
But the greatest 2 are 32
OK.
Herschel Walker would have been a Hall of Fame NFL back if he'd played in the NFL the first three years of his pro career.
USFL took Herschels best years. Sure wish he would of went to the NFL initially. Would of had some amazing highlights.
Back then the "No Fun League" NFL didn't allow underclassmen to enter the draft. So the timing was perfect for Herschel to leave Georgia early. It was a great time back then until the future "Insurrectionist-in-chief" Donald Trump talked the other owners into challenging the NFL in a antitrust lawsuit which literally killed the league! 😡🤬😡 It would probably still be in existence if the other owners stuck by the original format of a spring league! Ijs! 😒🏈💯👌

@@Biggsneeky Might want to check your history there. The league's model proved to be faulty before the move to the fall killed the league. Didn't you hear about teams not being able to play the players? Trump did kill the league, but the league was going to die a slow death. Trump expedited its death.
The CFL and the USFL also took Doug Flutie, Herschel's USFL QB, his best years too. Flutie was a GDMF Beast! In Canada, he is called the GOAT of Canadian Football. He was named the CFL's "Most outstanding player" 6 times, and won multiple grey cups.
Doug also was responsible for a 10+ game turn around of the Toronto Aurgonauts. He too Toronto from a 4-14 team one season, to a 15-3 team the next season, and a Grey Cup Championship appearance. And he was the only major Roster addition to the team.
NFL gave him a shot in the late 90's, and he made the Pro-Bowl his first couple of seasons, and took Buffalo to the Playoffs.
People forget about the 5500 yds rushing in 3 yrs he did in the USFL. U add those to his NFL numbers then he’s right up there with Jerome Bettis type numbers. Herschel unfortunately went to Dallas where there still wanted to give Dorsett Carrie’s when Herschel was obviously the best back during that time.
Dorsett was crying that's why 😅
@@rockfresh5359 so I’m sure u cried like a baby at one time. In ur life.
He rushed for over 2400 yds his 3rd yr. So slept on
Pocky this is so awesome! You know I was at the game where Herschel went over 2,000 yards for the season. It was at the meadow lands in New Jersey. My uncle took me. My uncle was so happy to take me to this game bc he took my cousins Tonito & Ruben to watch OJ Simpson go over 2,000 yards at Shea Stadium in Queens NY. My uncle Pete is the man! Thanks for this Pocky, you & my uncle always make life that much sweeter for me. Salud. Btw, check out some of my HS runs on my RUclips page. Enjoy bro.
Way back in 1983 and 1984 I drove down from ocala Florida to the campus of university of central Florida in Orlando to watch Walker in the preseason practice..there was always a good crowd just to watch walker... he signed autographs for every fan at the end of practice
USFL was legit just as talented as the NFL
The linebackers and DB’s were better on defense. The quick small safety as a legitimate starter. True with running backs and wide receivers.
But unfortunately not the money.
But I would loved to have seen some NFL-USFL exhibition games.
@@Mr.56Goldtop me too
Herschel still has many UGA, Southeastern Conference, and NCAA records but can you imagine what the stats would be if he'd stayed at UGA his senior year???
54 rushing touchdowns for Walker....Tebow had 57 rushing touchdowns and 88 passing...its more like just imagine Tebow starting all four years instead of just three...if only herchel Walker could have passed for 70 or 80 touchdowns..that would have been something...his only championship in the sugar bowl herchel Walker looked good but his quarterback only completed 1 pass in the entire game..probably had 20 incompletions...Walker should have played quarterback in that game. If he could have just thrown 70 or 80 touch downs he could've been another tebow
That fullback was money!!
Talk about something that will never be done again: 25,000 YDs from scrimmage by a non-QB in his PRO career! He also chipped in 145 TDs(10.37 per season).
Probably the fastest running back ever, yes Bo was faster at 40, but Herschel blitzed him at 100. Once Herschel was running at full speed he was like a Cheetah.
Exactly ppl don’t know this man ran a 10.1-10.2 100m and raced against olympians lol Bo wouldn’t stand a chance after the 40 meters
Here are the facts & no more speculations. Herschel Walker 10.23 is very fast for a 230 lbs man but he wasn't the fastest RB in NFL history. That title goes to Jeff Demps 10.01 (who's also the 3rd fastest man in NFL history behind Trendon Holliday 10.00 twice & Jim Hines 9.95 being the fastest).
Some more facts, Bo wasn't that fast as he & so many keep claiming. He only ran a 10.44 & his 40 yard time was hand timed & not electronic timed as Bo keeps lying about & I have no clue why no one calls him out on it‽
More facts, the NFL didn't start electronic timing until 1999. And that is still inaccurate bc it's hand start with a lazer finish. Bo ran his 40 in 1985. And Bo was absolutely NOT faster than Herschel in the 40.
To give you a more honest perspective on this matter of Bo claiming & lying about his 4.13 electric 40 time, the only people that legitimately ran close to that 4.13 is Christian Coleman who ran a 4.12 & it's on RUclips to see if for yourself, who is in fact the 60 meter indoor record holder of 6.34 & is the 6th fastest man in human history with his 9.76. Again Bo ran a 10.44 which is about a 20 meter blow out by Christian. I'm not even exaggerating.
There is no way that Bo can run stride for stride in the first 10 yards, let alone 40 yards with Christian Coleman. Impossible! The only other two men that were estimated to run a 4.1 something or less is Usain Bolt when he ran his world record time of 9.58 100m which he's estimated to run his 60 meters at 6.31 & his 40 yard dash at 4.18. Bo absolutely ain't keeping up with Usain. And yes Usain has one of the fastest starts in track history contrary to the popular belief that he started slow. Usain's start is the 3rd fastest in history & the absolute fastest start is Su Bingtian of China who ran the fastest 60 meters outdoors with a 6.29 when he ran in the Olympics & ran a 9.83. Su ran an estimated time of 4.07 in his 40 yards. Bo never ever in his life ran that fast.
Bo Jackson my childhood hero has disappointed me as I've grown, matured & played college football & ran track & learned that Bo "knows embellishing & lying!" Sad but true.
@@jordanjohnson457Herschel Walker 10.23 is his personal best. He ran a 10.10 windaided time. And he was way faster than Bo in the 40. Bo wasn't that fast as he claimed.
Your the man. I have looked everywhere for this! Thanks so much!
You're very welcome! I had a blast making this video.
I wish the USFL would come back!
Well it is back
@@caseypickett8059 Yes it is rooting for NJ GENS
My brother and I were New Jersey General fans because of Herschel Walker..
If you combine Herschel's USFL and NFL numbers, he's an easy HOF RB. It's a shame so much of his peak years aren't getting credited by the voters.
great video herschel a damn good dawg
Ok his Fullback was amazing!!
Their shoulder pads were huge back then! They were nearly twice the size of the shoulder pads worn today!! Wow!! 😂😂
5:20 FASTEST TAILBACK EVER.
People who think Bo was the fastest need to watch that play and reassess.
The facts, Bo Jackson's best 100 meters is 10.44, Herschel Walker 10.23 & drum roll please, the fastest RB in NFL history is, Jeff Demps 10.01. Jeff is also the 3rd fastest man in NFL history behind Trendon Holliday 10.00 twice & Jim Hines 9.95.
Bo my childhood hero is a liar. He embellished his story about his bogus 4.13 forty yard dash being electronically timed. The NFL didn't start timing with lazer finish, hand start until 1999. Bo was drafted in 1986. Bo seriously needs to stop lying. It's embarrassing & pathetic already.
But Herschel is definitely one of the fastest RBs of all time. He was an amazing athlete. Also my childhood hero.
Again all facts.
I honestly thought Bo Jackson was crazy fast especially on that one highlight of him running into the tunnel. But THIS play right here is the fastest I’ve ever seen a RB run in pads.
Here's something a little different from the normal. Some old-school USFL action was a nice change of pace from the usual college football and NBA. Herschel Walker was just as good as everyone thought he would be when he got to the pros, even if he would've been even better if he had better agility. Anyways, I guess that USFL players are now on the board when it comes to making videos. Anyone have any suggestions on who should get a video next?

PockyCandy ray lewis miami hurricane highlights.
Warrick Dunn, Peter Warrick, Allen Iverson (Georgetown), Unlv Runnin' Rebels, Shaq (LSU and Orlando Magic), Keyshawn Johnson, Kevin Faulk.....Just to name a few. Love the channel and keep up the good work.
Pocket Candy !! THE MAN !!!! I don't know how you do it or where you find all these. But Anthony Carter & Gary Anderson was dynamic and Kelvin Bryant really kicked it in the usfl. LOVE me some Marcus Dupree and ive seen some usfl videos of his out. but wouldn't doubt if you find all these gems ! and THNAK YOU as always !!!!
KELVIN BRYANT & MARCUS DUPREE ! You WILL have ALL "The Amo" on The GREATEST USFL RBs You'll need. Then do The QBs who played then went on to NFL. No one has USFL Hi-lights but U.
The battle between Steve Young and Jim Kelly.
He should be in the HOF ... His versatility hurt him . He was so good they over used him for punts , kickoffs . If he was primarily used in the backfield AND wasn’t traded from Dallas he would have had 12-14000 yards easy . They should count his Generals numbers too but they won’t .
Just imagine Hershell playing his whole career behind that massive Cowboys offensive line.

Hey man, thanks for uploading those USFL games. As you could probably tell, I used them to get footage from.
Yes and I appreciate you doing this video. There will be more games and videos that will be uploaded on my USFL channel.
Awesome
Always love your videos. Any way you could make a Peter Warrick Florida State video? Warrick Dunn and Charlie Ward would be great too, but P-Dub would be an epic highlight reel... Thanks for all the videos. Big fan.
Maybe. The Peter Warrick video would be exciting, but it would be a huge endeavor.
PockyCandy I just think, given the kind of plays he made at FSU, it would be incredible to make a compilation of his biggest plays. And there's a lot of footage of Florida State games from 1996 to 1999... Either way, I'm a big fan of your work, and I will continue watching.
Wow!
ur so underrated dude!
I don't know about that. I just try to make the best videos I can, and if they're good people will watch.
+PockyCandy ur gonna blow up soon tho just keep making quality content
Drew Peperone I agree!
+Jaree Cokley ayy
Shout out to you for this awesome upload. Let me know for the Rocket Ismail. Keep bringing those hits.
Man, when I finally make the Rocket Ismail video, I'm going to ****ing dedicate it to you in the credits of the video. You've been requesting that thing for a year now!

tapes !!!! I want notified and linked!!!

The USFL was smash mouth
If Walker played his college out, he's drafted in '84 by the Houston Oilers who brought Warren Moon in from the CFL. What might have been...
Beast
Shout out to Maurice Carthon, best blocking back ever!
Go Generals!!🎖
Can you do the USFL highlights of Reggie White?
Herschel was stupid fast!!
wait one more thing lol you should do Devin Hester!
Walker's NFL highlights can be condensed into a 20 second clip of him being traded to the Vikings. -Cowboys fan.
Woah a QB wearing 22
Isn’t that Flutie? He wore 22 at Boston College too.
Y'all seen that good Ole I formation!!!
Wished Hershel didn't have to go to the USFL - because no knucklehead NFL team wanted him .He could have been the all-time rushing leader instead of Emmitt Smith right now.
And because of Hershel he has that record
Pocky Candy for President !!
Amos Lawrence and Kelvin Bryant UNC
oh, and can you do LT the Tailback
I try to find footage of him, but nothing good exists at the moment.
ladainlian Tomlinson TCU days
You should make a Walter Payton one
number 34 is decent.
Donald trump owned the New Jersey Generals. Probably another reason Herschel and trump are such good friends. Truly one of the nicest people alive too.
Herschel Walker is not remembered with the great backs. When I go back and revisit his film it is just as good as Emmitt Smith's and Walter Payton's. I don't understand why he is not regarded as one of the greatest to ever do it...
Smh
It's because he spent 3 years in the USFL, and the NFL tries to pretend like that league never existed. Even if he averaged only 1500 yards in his first three seasons, and then you kept the rest of his numbers the same, you'd get 12,725 yards and probably around 100 touchdowns. And then once he got to the NFL, he had to split time with Tony Dorsett (which isn't the most damning thing tbh). Talent-wise, he was just as good as any of the other great HBs. His straightline speed was otherworldly.
@@PockyCandy Reggie White also played in the USFL before going to the NFL and he was celebrated. I agree with you that the USFL did not help Herschel but the numbers he put up in the NFL are not trash and the thing that is the most under appreciated about him is how well he could catch deep passes. I have changed my view on Herschel as a Pro. He should remembered as an all time great and I sometimes think that trade from Dallas kinda hurt the memories that we have of him....
@@xrt89fly While your point about Reggie White is true, White also had an insane, HoF-worthy career just based on his NFL stats. And DE is a position where a player can be elite into his 30s. Whereas at tailback, those first few years of a player's career can be absolutely crucial.
And yeah, his trade to Dallas has defined his career. Trust me, as a Vikings fan, the first time I heard about Herschel was when an older fan told me about how terrible that trade was for the team.
He should be in the HOF. He retired in 1997 as the second all-purpose yardage gainer in NFL history behind only Walter Payton. If that is not enough.....
@@PockyCandy Herschel Walker has at least 3-4 80-90yd touchdowns in the NFL alone. People act like he didn't perform in the NFL. He was a factor at every stop.
Your putting together a dream team and gotta choose between Herschel and Bo Jackson. Who's it gonna be?
For me, it's Herschel Walker!!!
Herschel. Not even a debate.
Walker.....Texas Ranger?
Pocky candy the real goat
Nah, Harris Highlights or JustBombsProductions is the GOAT
#USFL #RBs #HerschelWalker
do you think you'll ever show your face?
Probably not. I don't see the point of showing my face.
One thing that becomes apparent about the USFL is--the unis were dreadful or plain looking! It was not a pro-look. You have got to get some designers that could create some sweet logos and fresh designs. Part of the appeal is in the look. That's why the Broncos changed their look completely in 97. The fans and players get hyped over the unis!
Broncos made their uniforms worse in '97. Only upgrade was the logo. Darker colors are boring and overdone. AFL was known as a league of bright vibrant colors and people liked that.
@@osaji922 The 97 Broncos unis were way better than the classic ones! They were one of the laughing stocks of the league as far as uniform design! Now, laughing stock no more! The old Denver fans didn't want to change them, because they worshipped their team! And, bright or average toned colors do not nearly always make a great uniform; it still needs proper design. Why did Tampa Bay change theirs then?! Also, dark colors can make a great uni, too, because design and matching colors are the 2 most important things for a decent team uniform!
should have gone to the NFL from the very beginning
Nick Wells He would've if the rules had allowed him too.
He would have been a hall of famer if he had gone straight to the NFL. He wasn't utilized right for the most part in the NFL and his talent was wasted.
He was offered a ton of money and extremely huge benefits. Much more than the NFL would have offered at the time. He couldn't turn it down.
Money talks
Jim Brown #32 even greater than Herschel Walker
I’d hardly call 70% of what you compiled here “highlights”. One yard plunges and 4 yard end runs...
