I do not agree with it, but there are 18 and 19 year old adults that could play in the NFL and the rules do not let them because according the the NFL they could hurt themselves. Right? This is a non-story.

Trying to make a buck... like everyone else that plays?

Have you seen him lately? Pretty sure he could hold his own on the field.

I have no doubt he could hold his own on NFL football field for a limited amount of time. He can not sustain it over an entire season.
This is all just talk. It is a non-story.

Herschel has 'no doubt' he could play in NFL (but won't) | Jeff Schultz

“I was asked [on a conference call earlier Monday] if I thought I could still play football, and my answer is yes,” Walker said by phone. “There’s no doubt in my mind. I couldn’t play every snap, but most running backs today don’t play every snap. I joked that when I turned 50, maybe I’ll comeback and be the George Foreman of the NFL. If I played for anybody, it would be for Atlanta, since that’s my home team.”

But is this something Walker actually is entertaining?

“No, it was just a question a reporter asked,” he said. “I haven’t had any thought about it. I’ve been into MMA now for a little over a year and I’m enjoying it. I’m watching [football] games but I haven’t had any thought about playing again.”

That is what I was referring to about trying to promote his fight and make a buck. Not make a buck playing in the NFL.

Just heard on ESPN 980 that he STILL does 3500 situps and 1000 pushups P/Day.....................just like me!
HOLY SHIT....he needs to get a woman..........

Also isnt he crazy, like multi personality disorder? I wonder if he could even pass a physical because of his craziness?

At least one of him could

Seriously though, I don't think his mental state really has much to do with passing a physical

Vince Young is certified batshit crazy, as well as suicidal, and depressed...and he played up until Jeff Fisher finally had enough of him.

Naw Barret Roberts is batshit crazy, depressed and suicidal, if you really wanna know, Vince might of melted down in his home, but he didn't abandon a team in the middle of the biggest game of the year.

I would LOVE for the SOB to make it. Could there be a better example for some of the ..............entitled players today for work ethic?
Bring him to camp!

Jim Brown tried the same thing in 1983, but he was shot physically. He just didnt know it. He was also slow when he raced Franco Harris.

Herschel Walker looks like he could lace up right now and play tomorrow...

AND 4.38/40 time. He will be ahead of numerous backs today

Herschell was a great college player, and a pretty good nfl player too, but that seems overshadowed by his workouts/physical shape & the minnesota trade.

I know someone says he runs a 4.38. Bet that was hand timed & if went to the combine he would be closer to 4.6. He would have to be slower in terms of quickness & reflexes. IT would be interesting to see how he could stack up now, but I don't think it's realistic that he could make a team. His best bet would be fullback, but he was never a good blocker.

Was that a guess? It's pretty accurate. The conversion from hand time to FAT for distances under 400m is +0.24 which means a 4.38 is equivalent to a 4.62.

IMO we always have too much drama going on a Redskins Park don't need to add it by bringing in a 49 year old.

I say we bring him in, and while we're at it, come on Darrell Green!
