People tend to treat Herschel’s career like it was a disappointment. If you think about, that’s really a testament to how awesome he actually was. Dude was so talented that 13,084 total yards and 82 touchdowns was considered a bad career. That’s nuts!
Throw in his USFL stats. Even more awesome.
His total stats USFL & NFL mak
makes him the best all purpose yard gainer of all time! 25,484 yards gained, I think
@@tracymiller1713 This is correct by my math 18,168 all purpose yards in the NFL (running, receiving and return yards) which puts him 12th all time, and another 7,316 total yards in the USFL which is just insane.
Herschel also ran a 10.23 in the 100 meters which is faster than Bo Jackson 10.44 & Deion Sanders 10.26, let this settle in. He also was in the 1992 winter Olympics as a bobsled team member.
Damn Herschel was versatile, agile, his acceleration, speed, power because he was hard to take down. What a freak
LouisSportsNetwork he’s kinda similar to Bo
@@xay2comp true , both great .
Bo was just a little smaller , slower ,
less powerful , less of a football player and certainly a better baseball player than Hershel .
Why do you say Hershal was versatile?
Georgia state champion in 100, 200, and 4x4 relay (fastest)
Georgia state Champion shot put (strongest)
2 time all American sprinter
Heisman Trophy
Ballet
5th-degree blackbelt in taekwondo
Played a little NFL football (7 DIFFERENT POSITIONS)
3 years of USFL football NJ Generals Don Trumps team
1992 USA Olympic Bobsled team (tried out not knowing what bobsledding was and technique)
1500 push-ups changing hand position for 1-hour a day
3500 sit-up NO BREAKS 30 mins
2-0 MMA at 47 and 48 years old
CEO of Renaissance Man Food Services Inc. (RMFS), a meat-processing company (largest minority-owned food business)
WHO DOES NOT HAVE A RESUME LIKE THIS?
Not to mention, he had great , soft hands to catch with
@@nflsportsesport4248 which is why I think he's tied with Bo as the greatest ATH of all time.
Herschel, Sweetness & Bo were my childhood hero's. Herschel was seriously on a different level of athleticism. Simply unreal.
The plural of hero is heroes.
@@sneakerfacevids441 Ok professor.
Bo was by far and away more athletic and better. Not sure what you were watching
A player with Mr Walkers abilities in today's NFL would easily make $300 million ! The man was a phenomenal player.
too bad his son can't carry on the legacy
A freak of nature.
@kennethwilliams7731 No he wouldn’t lol because nobody runs the ball heavily anymore. Running back is one of the least paid positions right now.
Herschel was so underrated in my opinion. He was a straight up beast.
Absolutely agree 100%. Very underrated. One of my favorites.
He's still considered a God in Athens Georgia to this very day.
I agree but the weird thing is he was the biggest thing in college and didn't disappoint in the pros.
Fau Q are you illiterate? Can you read? Do you understand English? If so, you’d understand what I said and I never said he was underrated I said they made him seem underrated. You’re (not your like your dumbass used) a fucking ignorant asshole who can’t read. Learn how to read before commenting on shit.
War eagle 🦅
Man, this is the BEST NFL highlight reel of Herschel I've seen. He had a pretty decent NFL career. I seem to forget about it.
Christian is also a very confused and Toxic mixed Black Gay Child raised in a bubble with his white mama.
Big, tough, surprisingly quick, agile, and great hands. Walker was the epitome of a complete back
Man....I had forgotten how dynamic of a player he really was!!
If you get time , look at the Georgia college runs man among boys
This guy made the Olympics for two separate sports, started mma in his 40s and is undefeated and had an amazing nfl career
thebravelittletoaster14 , let’s not forget what he did at Georgia winning the Heismen his final junior season & setting records that still stand to this day .
@@justind.plorable8635 He has more yards in NCAA than any other back in 3 years. Had he played his senior year he would have broken the rushing record and still have it.
@@roostershifflett Everyone also needs to remember his stats were during a time when they played 1 less game during the regular season (11 then vs 12 today) and player stats from Bowl games, conference championship games, or playoff games did not count towards the players' statistics.
PERFECT example is Nick Chubb (who is in my top 3 Bulldogs of all time, I literally love the guy and how he represents himself, his family, his school and team). Nick's statistics for his Senior year are from the FIFTEEN GAMES he played that year. That is 4 more games than Herschel got his Junior year. Nick missed 7 games his Sophomore year due to injury AND STILL played and got credit for 14 (FOURTEEN!!!) more games than Herschel did. Imagine Herschel's stats had they played a 12 game regular season as they do now and if stats from Bowl and playoff games also counted. Just with the extra regular season game and the bowl game, based on his approx 160 yards per game, that would add almost another 1,000 yards to his 3 year total. This doesn't include SEC Championship games or Playoff games. Don't even get me started on if he would have stayed for his Senior season. I was fortunate that my Freshman year at UGA was Herschel's Junior and last season there. At least I was able to witness the greatness that was Herschel Walker.
Don't forget that he was a black belt in tae kwondo and a workout warrior during that same time,too.
He was marginal at best in NFL ---
His pass catching ability was vastly underrated. Doesn't get credit he deserves.
Your so right . He was the biggest guy to ever be a serious deep threat .
Crazy to think of someone that size possibly faster than a Tyreek Hill.
Imagine Hill with Herschels size .
Brian Harris Herschel Walker rap song ⬇️ ⬇️🔥🔥🔥
ruclips.net/video/ASjFZz7NG4s/видео.html
He got that credit back in the 1980's. It was talked about a lot back in 1986. I remember thinking he could play TE if a team needed him to
He was basically another Tight End.
Could out finesse linebackers and make one hand grabs like it was magic
Jim Brown, Bo Jackson, Herschel Walker, and Earl Campbell were all FREAKY combination of speed and strength.
Of the four, I'd say Bo was the best athlete. His football exploits are incredibly impressive and his baseball exploits even more so. The other three are phenomenal, I would just put Bo slightly ahead.
Another freak that got hurt, was William Andrews, Ronnie Lott said it was the hardest hitting running back he ever faced.
None of those guys belong in the same comment with Jim Brown.
@@apex_prowler95 Jim was a legend, Bo was faster than Jim and just as big--did not even need to practice --natural.
He wasn’t even close to the same level as them stop it 😂 you don’t mention him with some of the greatest ever. He had 2-1k years in 15 years in the nfl. He’s a bum who flashed twice behind elite OL’s
People tend to forget; Before there was a Bo, there was Herschel. Same height, same weight, same world class sprinter speed.
same number
And a HELLUVA lot longer career
well duh bo played baseball longer too@@ezsmith3765
Bo was 230. Walker 225.
@@hitek9too255 Pedantic fool...lol
I was fortunate to meet Walker in NJ at the Joint Base. I still have the football he signed for me. I remember him talking about how he never lifted weights. Only did pushups and sit-ups. To this day, he is still in shape. An absolute beast.
The fact that this man does 3500 situps and 1500 pushups a day for 30 years alone makes him legendary
he doesn't.....
@@Daniel-yo5es Why do you doubt it?
@@marksammons2409 I was just listening to nate newton on the ticket talking about what a joke herchel's pushups were. basically going like an inch down and back up... and then just moving his head. he described it as a scam to get more money in his contract... which he did. so essentially his pushups and situps amount to squat...
@@Daniel-yo5es Didn't know that. I heard about it in the past. I know he never did much pumping iron. Corey Dillon was similar.
@@marksammons2409 I mean, don't get me wrong... he is and always has been a phenomenal athlete..... but 1500 pushups and 3500 situps a day.... no way. that alone would take two hours out of your day, every day, if you could even do it... which there's no way... a real pushup, no way.
I had forgotten what GREAT hands Walker had.
Those were WR catches.
Hell of a talent, hell of a man
Yeah those abortions and woman beating sure do make him great
Just ask his wife he threatened to blow her brains out.
Walker was the only guy I ever saw who could play Fullback, Halfback, Wide Receiver, Tight end, return punts, and return kickoffs, and was very good at most of these positions, and great at the rest of the positions. I believe he also had 9.3 second 100 yard dash times........
Herschel Walker could still probably kick ass in some aspects of today's game. Nothing I've seen from him recently can dissuade me of that opinion. The man is a physical freak and a total outlier.
Wasn't he talking about coming out of retirement when he was 40 or 45 or whatever?
@@paulgaither Yep he said something like that.
He won his 1st pro MMA fight at 50!
@@fobbitoperator3620 yes! The man walked through a flush head kick! It was crazy.
@@youstupidfoo565 I've been a practitioner for 15 years. I wouldn't fight him!
Was cool to see HW end his career in Dallas. What an unbelievable athlete he is!
Yes I was surprised seeing it. I had no idea that they got him back. Great athlete..
Might be the best....what an Athlete
@@frankierodriguez4132 Indeed!
Just incredible. One of the fastest, most physically gifted men on the planet. Interesting how at times the offensive line gives up on the play, yet Herschel keeps going. Textbook.
He also did MMA into his 50s and I think he's undefeated! What a beast 💪👍 👊! Love him❤️💯
He deserves to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame
Look at his stats. Superstar but not hall of fame
Ruben Krishna he played in the USFL as well and look at his stats there.
It’s called the Pro Football Hall of Fame not NFL Hall of Fame
2 1000 yard rushing seasons though and hall of fame voters are tougher
Ruben Krishna he’s top 10 in all purpose yards and if you combined his all purpose yards in the NFL and USFL he would be 1st in all time purpose yards and if you combined his rushing yards in the USFL and NFL he would be 5th in all time rushing yards
He was great. Underused, and unfortunately, that kept him from the HOF. If he got used more, he'd be in the HOF question for sure.
I don't say he doesn't deserve a HOF ballot, BTW.
I'm not a Georgia fan but he has my respect as a Bama Fan, he is truly the definition of work ethic
Same and I'm auburn fan but I would rather have bo and at their best dont ya think bo Jackson was better though ?
@@ericsigersmith6067 I honestly believe they were very evenly matched as football players. They were both exceptional track athletes too. I will give Bo Jackson the slight edge only because he played as a two star athlete in MLB and NFL at the same time. That feat in itself was amazing!
Dude was a beast nobody could tackle him😂😂
@Joe...Hersch should play a compilation of his NFL wins like this one at his rallies between now & Dec.6; super impose the name Warnock on the missed attempts of tacklers 😁
@@trismaccarran9950 the dude is brain damaged and has no idea wtf he's talking about. You're a fucking dummy too
Just amazing his body held up all those years of being pounded year after year. Don’t remember him ever being hurt! Phenomenal speed and power combination too.
most underrated beast
*The REAL BEAST MODE!!!*
He was great then and is better than great today! Love Herschel Walker!
I got to see Herschel playing college football. He was a huge draw then, and he did not disappoint. I have never seen as fast and as strong a running back in person ever. He always had huge shoulder pads, I guess so he could crank into people and not get hurt in the process. Thank you, Herschel, for showing us something special with every run.
The USFL kept Walkers numbers artificially low. Ive never seen anyone come out of college rated any higher than Walker. He was probably the greatest all around offensive football player in history. He was also very durable. He is also NOT in the HOF!!! Many aren't aware of that. Why the Hell he isnt, I'll never know.
I can never understand, why he is not in the National Football Hall of Fame? This man set so many records in the pro game.
These highlights make me appreciate him even more. No joke!
Him or bo Jackson?
Both
He's going to be an even better Senator!!? Lol
(nope)
I remember when he went to the eagles. I was living in South Jersey outside of Camden by Philly. He was a monster man period.
I do remember watching hershel walker in the New Jersey generals when we had the USFL in the early 80s. I really enjoyed watching him then.
Imagine if he hadn’t spent the first few years of his prime in the USFL.
imagine if he played now where backs who can catch out of the back field are flourishing, he would have been a pro football hall of famer
The first few years of a career is warm up.. he showed up in the NFL right on time..
JACOB'S LADDER not for a Running Back. Those early years are almost always your best due to the the low cumulative ‘mileage’
@@Sticktothemodels yes this is true however certain individuals not many have a nack that gets better and better each year for running backs these days you gotta get em early back then (I was in highschool in the lare 70s) running backs had really great careers 8,9,10 years into their game. So yes the years missed only stopped him from having more yardage in the NFL however your prime is not when you begin your career.
@@stealthiscool ...over 18,000 all purpose NFL yards, he should still be a hall of famer!
As a 9er fan he was lethal for years guy was a phenomenal back
Damn he was a BEAST ! Also fighting in MMA at age 50!?😲
The cowboys really pulled off one of the greatest train robberies in 1989
I just commented this. Lol. My dad talked about this in 89 to years to come. Lol. Great memories.
Trade robbery * although hershel moves like a train lol
Umar Suleman a train that ran out of steam. Lol
and, he is one of the nicest guys you could ever meet.
Except when he is beating the shit and threatening to kill women.
“Handoff to Herschel !!”
That all we use to hear on Saturdays.
The fact that this guy was as big as a TE and as fast as a WR is insane
Herschel Walker did his job. Never complained about where he was or what he did, he just did it.
Wish he would just keep his mouth shut now. Being a spectacular athlete doesn’t get him close to being an intellectual on politics and black history.
@@joeswheat sure it does. He's a successful black man in America. He has as much right as anybody.
When Hershel couldn't carry the ball anymore as with many RB's when they reach age 30 Hershel stuck around playing special teams and blocking fullback. Yep he did his job and did not whine. I have a lot of respect for him.
@@joeswheat what kinda left rage pill are you on man you need to chill
Joe Swheat
I’m sure you would say that about
LeBron James.
Never lifted a weight in his life, thousands of sit ups and push ups a day. Incredible.
Only ppl who never trained seriously a day in their life believe this stuff 😅🤦🏾♂️
There were 4 great running backs in college football in the early 1980's
Herschel Walker
Eric Dickerson
Bo Jackson
Marcus Dupree
Only one made it to Canton.. but Herschel is deserving.. 🏈
no.... Bo was WAY better
Meh. 2 Pro Bowls and zero All-Pro. 8000 rushing yards at 4.2 per. Not getting into the Hall with his resume. If he hadn't pissed away three seasons in the USFL, his case would be a lot better.
@@csnide6702 Nooo he wasn't but more popular, Herschel was better in College and alot better as a Pro
@@GuapoSantana you bumped your head..... Bo was quite possibly the best athlete of our time.....
@@csnide6702 You bumped your head what does him being a great athlete have to with the the fact that Herschel was just as great a College player and definitely better as a Pro and just as good of an athlete he was bigger, faster and stronger than Bo...Bo was good at two sports and Herschel was an All American in 2 and also participated in Bobsledding at the Olympics and MMA as a 48 yr old.
That 10 year period from '85 to '95 was the greatest for running backs. Walter, Herschel, Bo, Barry, Emmitt, just to name a few.
Sad how now and days the NFL devalues running backs.
Hershel Walker was the best Cowboy of the Pre-Dynasty era imo. Versatile, fast, strong, he was just legendary. I wouldn't blame Minnesota that they would be winning a SB with him there.
🙄
What is the time on the clock in the....
Herschel Walker, what an absolutely amazing, player!! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Thanks for the video, NFL THROWBACK
Sports Illustrated featured him in an article when he was at Georgia, they mentioned he was a sprinter on the track team and included a photo of him and some typical college sprinters running the 60 yard dash. He looked as big as three of the others put together and he was as fast as any of them. Just an absolute freak of nature.
Best highlights upload of walker, thank you
Herschel walker is definitely a Hall of Famer awesome Athlete.
Uhhh, no. He is not and was not deserving.
@@bauerj3398 drop the crack pipe brah. Hershel was a beast brah. To say he is not deserving of the hall of fame is stupidity at its finest. Let me guess you dont think he should he in the hall of fame because he is a trump supporter and a candidate for the GOP. And he isn't a liberal like yourself to say he is not deserving of being in Canton is probably the dumbest thing to even state. Hershel was a absolute beast and ran through people like a freight train. But to you he is not worthy because he is a GOP member. Really nigga. You soft. S-O-F Capital T SoftT.
And I'm not even Republican no Democrat but I gotta say with all due respect saying he isn't deserving because he is a GOP candidate is probably the dumbest statement I ever seen in my life. And I heard some pretty dumb shit.
Uhhhh yes he is , and is
Don't be such a hater , your the only one who thinks Walker is not deserving .
Now retract and stop being such a dick .
Nope.
@@bauerj3398 🤡
“When he unloads, he unloads on you” 😂😂
He’ll be an even better Senator. A true Patriot!
Hershel was a beast
Walker , one of the most gifted athletes of ALL TIME! What a treat to watch him in the NFL and from what I’m told owned other teams when he played with Georgia! 👍
9:25 Was in 97' at 35 years old he was starting at FB for Daryl Johnston who was put on IR during the weeks preperations. Such an indredible play that won us the game and kept us alive in 97' for a little bit longer in what turned out to be a terrible season. Our offense was absolutely pitiful in 96 and especially 97.
Herschel Walker was one of my favourite players of all time . I was thrilled when he joined the Cowboys in 1986.Dallas was 6-2, tied with the Giants but lost in week 9 to NY when Danny White suffered a season ending injury. Dallas had no good backup QB , season went downhill. He was amazing in two following years on very bad Cowboys teams but his trade to Minnesota jump started the Cowboys rise to Champions again. It was great to see him come back to Dallas at the end of his career. I’ve followed him from time to time since and now he’s in politics and I wish him well.
Wow ! So GLAD you put His NFL Highlights together. When HERSHEL got to DALLAS, Teams were going for his knees to hurt Him. I couldn't bear to watch. From GA. & Big Generals fan.
Herschel Walker was the best college football player I’ve ever seen. He’s also the most underrated professional football player I’ve ever seen.
omg thank you for doing herschel walker he is honestly one of the best to ever play and personally one of my favorite runningbacks
Hershel was something to see. Another player who played both sports and was top tier in both is Bo Jackson. He ran The Boz out of the NFL after running over him!
He is just unreal.
Herschel was ahead of his time, sadly. I don't think a running back like he was fit into the 80's NFL, but he would have been great in the 90's on. He deserved better than what happened in his career.
fixxxer3456 he’d be considered one of the all-time greats. Even if he didn’t get the 2,400 rushing Yard season like he did in the USFL, I think he’d get at least one 2,000 yard season in the NFL
Why wouldn't he fit in the 80's football. He proved that
@@bigh9884 I kind of agree that he would have done more damage in a pass happy league,he was an excellent receiver and 3 down back. Imagine him in an era of 230 lb linebackers vs the 250 lb guys in the 80s? Even todays speedy light backers couldn't run with him and they sure as hell couldn't hit him straight on 😂
He did great in the 80s, played his prime in the 90s and tanked with a SB contender. You're making no sence at all.
He already proved he fit into the '80s what the heck are you even talking about 🤦🏿
Walker definitely one of the best of all time in his position. Power,speed , agility,. He had it all. Very smart player
Walker for senate
I see why he is the way he is now. You couldn't pay me enough to ruin my brain like that.
Tony and Herschel were asked a question as to what they saw in tacklers as they hit broken field. Tony said he saw color (i.e. light or dark jersey) and responded accordingly to avoid them. With his speed, that worked. Herschel said he just saw one man at a time, and attempted to beat that one man.
The thing is, it often took more than one. It honestly did. I've never seen anyone drag people like that. He was strong as an **OX,** no question about it. Along with Olympic speed. Literally. Add his USFL career, and I'm not sure, but just maybe the legitimate GOAT. I put him second only to Brown.
Bill Woo He was Brown with world class speed.
That man was a beast 💪.
Greatest running back the Cowboys ever had and they traded him to get the the Super Bowl. Emmitt benefitted by having the best O line ever.
I'm a Gator fan and, of course, hate everything UGA...but have always had nothing but respect for this guy.
I grew up watching him run over people. One of the best backs Strong fast with good hands
Do u guys think he was better than marshawn lynch in his prime? Edit: thanks for all the likes
Without a doubt and it's not even close
Not a chance
100 percent
Much more talented, but Lynch had a better NFL career. Conversely, Walker had a better college career
Lol no
Over his Amazing career he never seem to lose any pace !! Nice video cheers
NO ONE has a highlight reel like this. Stunning ability and competitive drive. (...and a great judge of character!)
His character is awful, he’s a wife beating POS
Go Dawgs! best UGA football player ever hands down
Maybe the best college football player ever
@Brett over Barry Sanders?
Facto
I'm a gator fan
What Hudson Brown said is 100% fact
If he played his senior year he probably would have ran for 7,000 yards in college .That would have been a record.
As a Georgia Bulldog fan, he will always be the greatest 💪 a dawg through and through
God bless you on your trip to the top, you are grace !!!!
4:04 "One thing about Hershell Walker is as big as he is, when he unloads, he unloads on you."
Classic.
Jim Brown was a freak of nature in his era. He was a great athlete, including Lacrosse, Boxing, Basketball, etc.
One of my favorite running backs ever. He still looks like he can play.
He hasn't aged!
The man that started the phrase "BEAST MODE."
He would have been dominating as a defensive end or linebacker. What an epic athlete.
I love how Herschel Walker played in almost every NFC East team
He was such an agile power runner for his size
Christian is also a very confused and Toxic mixed Black Gay Child raised in a bubble with his white mama.
Incredible athlete , you run the ball north and south . You deliver the blow , that's football
Herschel is one of the finest "football players" I've ever seen. This video displays his ability to execute offensively, but I've always believed that if he was asked to play linebacker, Herschel Walker would have excelled at it. I think he could have done anything. Much underrated.
Such a dynamic playmaker, he was fun to watch.
I went to high school with one of his cousins, and this man wanted to be an FBI agent , just imagine him chasin you down !
Lol.
What you said was funny. I would have hated to be a criminal and running from herschel. I just would have gave up.
bro even bullets dont stand against him. He'll clean the streets with intimidation. Imagine getting chased down to your death bed lmao
this the 1 😭😭😭
Walker...texas ranger
one of the greatest athletes of all time, he is truly blessed
One great football player and a damn good dawg!!
This guy was an NFL JUGGERNAUT of Speed & Power....Unstoppable....Herschel & Aikman were an unbeatable duo in the NFL....☝🏾
Don't think both really did much in the NFL while they were together since towards the very end of his career they drafted Aikman and 2 years later traded Herschel walker for that massive return of a trade.
He was bullied as a kid. He used that as motivation to become an amazing athlete. Bet nobody bullies him these days!
Yeah now he abuses his wife. He’s a scumbag
In 2022, the news media relentlessly bullies him.
Wish I was old enough to watch this live🅿️ them 34’s in the 80s was special (Bo Jack..Walker.. Payton..Thurman Thomas)
love watching that man turn the corner. Holy hell.
I appreciate the reminder that he was a beast! He would have so much value in fantasy football!! I forgot or didn't realize how much he played a role in the passing game.
It’s so easy to forget just how good a pass catcher he was, especially on those down field throws. Just an amazing offensive weapon!
One of the most legendary college football players of all-time. Spent his first 3 seasons in the USFL, which are the prime years for a Running Back, so we'll never know how great he could have been had he started in the NFL. Still had a long and impressive NFL career......I'll never forget him Running stride for stride with WR/Olympic sprinter Willie Gault, at the Superstars competition and he was probably 40 pounds or more bigger than Gault...... Seems like a solid dude.
He still had a lot of speed late in his career. He could do a lot of things on the field, which helped him stay a few extra years once he was no longer a starting RB.
HERSCHEL WAKER THE TRUE BEAST. ONE HANDED CATCH OUT OF THE BACK FEILD . GREAT MOVE TRADING HIM COWBOYS. W O W !
His most athletic years were in the 80s. What makes him even more legendary...He was knocking guys out in the10s🤯
He’s Teflon for tacklers.
One of my top five favorite runners to watch. A true fluid beast.
Who is here after his RNC speech?
Probably no one, what was it about? Who spoke?!
@Chuck Anya tell that to Lebron and Kaepernick
Walker is a butt ...a big dummy...who got used at the RNC.😂😂😂😂💯
Trump using him just like he did with the Generals. He will never make the HOF ... He sold out, could have been great.
@@dnealgail8244 Not could have been. He WAS great.
