Herschel Walker
He won the 1982 Heisman Trophy; He is one of the greatest college football players of all-time
Walker began his professional career in the United States Football League (USFL) with the New Jersey Generals, where he played for three seasons and was named the league's MVP in 1985. After the USFL folded, Walker transitioned to the NFL, joining the Dallas Cowboys in 1986. His time with the Cowboys was marked by consecutive Pro Bowl selections in 1987 and 1988, showcasing his ability to excel at the highest level of competition. However, it was his 1989 trade to the Minnesota Vikings that became one of the most talked-about moments in NFL history, as the trade is widely regarded as one of the most lopsided deals, ultimately helping the Cowboys build their dynasty in the 1990s.
In addition to his time with the Cowboys and Vikings, Walker also played for the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants before eventually retiring with the Cowboys. Throughout his 12-season NFL career, Walker was known for his versatility, as he not only excelled as a running back but also contributed as a receiver and return specialist. His unique skill set and work ethic made him a valuable asset to every team he played for, and his contributions to the game have left a lasting impact on the sport.
Outside of football, Walker has pursued various ventures, including representing the United States in the 1992 Winter Olympics as a member of the bobsleigh team. He has also been involved in business, particularly in the food processing industry, and served as a co-chair on the President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition from 2019 to 2020. In 2022, Walker entered the political arena as the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate in Georgia, though he ultimately lost the election to incumbent Raphael Warnock. His diverse career, both on and off the field, has made him a prominent figure in American sports and public life.
