Believe it or not I wasn't entirely kidding myself with this

"Herschel Walker, 53, says he could still play in the NFL"

"Herschel Walker on NFL: 'Not a doubt in my mind I can play today'"

* Guy's a brick wall.
* Keeps himself in shape with MMA which means he could probably at least block.
* Need him only for a few games.
* Motivation wise: guessing he wouldn't do it for the money but for the idea of getting on a playoff bound team for a few games.
* Satisfy his burning curiosity to see if he could still go.
* And he'd love being next to Russell Wilson who's the hottest QB and the hottest offense.
* He'd probably be better than Harris.
* He can still run fast.
* And just like how the offense can get inspired behind someone young totally ballin' like Rawls, what about being inspired by someone old totally balln' with the young boys?

Heck even our guy "flirted" with the idea

This post serious blew my mind.

Because I was actually serious about it?

Seriously.

I edited my original post to say "he's a genetic freak". I believe part of his legacy is he never took PEDs. Also heard this story at a motivational seminar, not sure it's true, the main speaker told it.

When Walker tried to join his HS football team he was a puny guy. Coach told him no way. Walker came back and asked what he would need to do to join and Coach told him he had to run every day, do pushups every day, do situps every day

So that's what he did. Something like 500 pushups a day, 500 situps a day, 5 miles a day. Came back the next year and was a huge wall of muscle and the coach didn't even recognize him.

Curious if it's true, probably embellished a bit, really good story though.

Regardless.... having that type of self-discipline at that age? Amazing... he definitely would have the right mindset to go for a few games.
