Everyone remembers Herschel for his power and speed. If you watch the tape, his leaping ability was incredible. To get that big of a body that high with seemingly little effort. You don't see that anymore.

probably the most athletic play he ever made was against ole miss in 1981. He dove over the pile from about the 4, was hit head on by a LB, in mid-air absorbed the blow while simultaneously beginning a spin move, then landed on the ground while spinning and easily waltzed into the endzone.

It's shite like that man....people may end up eventually breaking some of HW's records, but it's stuff like that why there will truly never be another. He was the absolute pinnacle of speed, brute strength, and finesse. One of a kind.
