Hershel walker rushed for 5259 yard in his 3 seasons at Georgia and won the Heisman in 1983. He rushed for 7516 in the NFL and played for 15 years. He was also on the 1992 Olympic Bobsled Team and placed 7th. At the age of 47 he took up MMA and went 2-0. He has a 5th degree Black Belt in taekwondo. In politics Walker is a Republican who supported Trump and is currently running for Senate against Democrat Raphael Warnock where he is widely expected to beat out the liberal, scum sucking, incumbent.

George Rogers won the Heisman in 1980 as a Sr. at USCe. He rushed for 5091 yards in his four years in college. He rushed for 7076 yards in his 7 years in the NFL. He was cited for cocaine use in the NFL and went into treatment. He was arrested in 1990 for possession with intent to distribute cocaine and possession of marijuana.

Bo Jackson won the Heisman in 1985. He rushed for 4303 over his 4 collegiate years at Auburn. He played the following 9 years in the MLB and in the NFL for 4 years where he rushed for 2782 yards. Jackson announced a line of CBD products called Hero Brand CBD in November 2021

Bo and Bo were the two greatest of all time. Many dont know Herschel nickname was also Bo.

I will take herschel for his accomplishments and production. Though they were both out of this World good.

Herschel also spent his prime in the USFL. If you combine all of his professional football yardage he had several thousand more than walter payton. herschel is the greatest RB ever.

HW won the Heisman in 1982….a minor oversight on your part. The 1983 winner was Mike Rozier of Nebraska.

As for Herschel’s college career, he did in 3 years what the others could not do in 4. You’ll never see another feature back have 934 carries in 3 college seasons. Had Chubb not been injured, he’d have come close to or broken HW’s yardage, but again, in 4 years, not 3. There will never be another HW. Makes you wonder how he’d fare in todays college football world.

Imagine getting him access to top of the line nutrition, trainers, and facilities like a lot of prep kids can get nowadays.

He was a freak show from just doing pushups, sit ups, pull ups, and sprinting alongside a train. He could have been CFB Samson if he had access to modern training, etc.

His nutrition worked, he eats a large salad for breakfast and supplement with soup.

He still looks as good or better than kids playing today. His system works.

Branson is using his system right now to be ome the #1 rb in hs.

It works, but it could have been even better. Modern science could have made Herschel into Godzilla.

I run into George Rogers a few times a year at charity golf events. He is a nice dude. I feel like he has had a lot of bad people around him, yet also, seems like there are a few USC booster types that generally look out for him and get him involved. He is not super sharp and will never be a savvy business man, but that’s not a huge deal.

Also, Bo Jackson has been very successful as a businessman. He is a sharp dude.
