They went to the NFL and Hershcel was just an average RB, nothing special about him at all.
He finished his career with 13084 total yards of offense (18168 all purpose yards) and 84 TDs. If he had started out his career in the NFL he would've most likely had well over 10K rushing yards and may have had a legit argument for being a HOFer. So he was better than an "average " RB.
And when creating a list of greatest RBs most people wouldn't include Bo because to be considered among the greatest you actually have to play a lot. Bo is more in the "what if" category. He may have been in the HOF had he focused on FB and stayed healthy.

Sure you do. This list on NFL.com just came out a couple weeks ago:
27 greatest NFL running backs of all time
#14. Bo Jackson
I don't see anybody named Herschel Walker listed
