As someone who was in Middle School at that time it is almost impossible to describe his impact. He was like a superhuman to most of us back then.

So true! I was in elementary school and lived in Georgia during this time. My parents were both Tech grads, but our whole family were Herschel Walker fans.

Walker was unstoppable at Georgia. Teams knew what was coming,and still weren’t able to stop him.

Herschel Walker IS a beast,got to see him play live in college and the NFL.Absolutely ran all over people.Always showed up to play an showed a lot of class.

We played him in high school. I'm younger than him, but I remember him for he was towering above the other players in the huddle. He ran all over us. Straight beast. Saw him when we hosted the track meets. We had a very fast guy but Herschel blew him away in the 100 yard dash.

I watched 1980 Herschel Walker and then watched your video of 1983 Bo Jackson. Now, you would really be a miracle worker if you could find some film also from 1983 on freshman Greg Allen, FSU's RB who ran for 202 yards against LSU in Baton Rouge and the following week ran for an NCAA record of 323 yards against Western Carolina.

My dad and I were at the game sitting in the end zone that Walker scored his first touchdown in. To watch the play develop was amazing. The defensive back took a bad angle on the toss sweep. To see him have to stop in his tracks and try to recover to no avail was simply something I’ll never forget!!

I was excited when the Eagles acquired him in 92. People don’t realize he only had two 1000 yard seasons- one with the cowboys and one with the eagles. He was frustrating- usually a two yard gain but then he’d break a 60 yarder. He definitely didn’t have the lateral, shifty moves of superior backs but his breakaway speed was world class. Too bad i now think he’s a nincompoop.

Adrian Peterson is certainly in the conversation. Marcus Dupree as well. Both were the strongest players on their respective rosters and the fastest as 18 year old freshmen.

There’s a reason why Herschel Walker, Bo Jackson, and Marcus Dupree all have 30 for 30’s on them. All athletic phenoms (size, speed, and strength). Adrian only finished second in the Heisman as a true freshman after starting only half the year.

Most good backs have great burst, but not necessarily top end speed like WR's. Hershel (and Bo) both had all-time 5th gears.

The kneel-down thing hadn't been invented yet. The play wasnt "busted." (And quite frankly, I wish teams had to run an actual play, not just touch a knee.)
