Herschel Walker

Just watched the ESPN story on Herschel Walker. It's been over 30 years since we've seen a college running back/athlete since him. He was 6-1, 230lbs , was the fastest most dominant college running back of all time, he smoked Carl Lewis in the 60m, and ran for 1600 and change as a true freshman and won a national title (mostly because of him), and I could go on forever with his accolades.

My point? Isn't it about time another Herschel emerges from some small town somewhere in America? Hard to believe we havent seen his clone yet. Could it be we will Never see a college player like him again?

    Walker was good, but he played weak competition in the SEC. Everyone from the SEC is overrated.

    Agree, Walker possibly the best ever, past and future.

    A lot of people forget how good George Rogers was. He was buried in the hype chart.

    Some others worth mentioning:
    Billy Simms
    Earl Campbell
    Erik Dickerson
    Barry Sanders
    No Jackson
    OJ Simpson
    Ricky Williams
    Jim Brown


    Which leads me to recall the most homo erotic Sports Illustrated photo shoot ever. I cringed at the time
