Herschel walker wants NFL return!!!

Herschel Walker eyeing a return to NFL? - ESPN

We talked about this last year, but i think this guy is for real.

Walker is a freak of nature, and at 48, he claims he is just as good as he was, running a 4.39 40 just last year.

Is this a stunt? It's hard to believe that at 48 any team would give him a chance, but i'm starting to think that due to his freakish shape, and athleticism some team is going to give him a shot....

Get him and then trade him to Minnesota for a boatload of draft picks.

He is just trying to crack the roster of any team to try and show the world that older people can still live their dreams and enjoy what they love. In his own words he compares his comeback with George Foreman's...

He's 48 years old. He'll be 49 at the start of the season.

Have you seen him though. I really think he could do it as a role player, like 3rd-down back.


I'd love to be the team to give him a shot. Despite being a Cowboy, I've always been a fan of him as a person.

Re: Herschel walker wants NFL return!!!

He is just trying to promote his fighting career and make a buck.
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.

Re: Herschel walker wants NFL return!!!

I think this would be awesome. But if hes not going to be a number 1 back then he probably needs to contribute to teams, i wonder if hell be up for that?

Re: Herschel walker wants NFL return!!!

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

I literally lol'ed when reading this!

As to the point of the thread: if he really wants to come back, let him go the UFL route. If mediocre guys like Dede Dorsey can't make teams, I can't see a 48 year old making the cut.
