After winning the Heisman Trophy award in 1983, Herschel Walker came out of the University of Georgia as a junior to sign with the USFL's New Jersey Generals.

Walker rushed for more than 5,500 yards and 54 touchdowns in his three years playing for the Generals. “Herschel Walker was the rarest combination of strength and speed I’ve ever seen in my life,” says Dave Lapham, who blocked for Walker on the offensive line in the 1984 and 1985 seasons. “He had world-class speed on a 225-pound body. A genetic phenom  -- he was a freak of nature.”

“Herschel was a little different: He talked about himself in the third-person; he’d talk about going to the FBI; he’d dance with the local ballet,” recalls Brad Sham, in a voice that was still trying to figure Walker out. “He was a much better athlete than a football player. He was one of the greatest athletes to play in the league, but being a great athlete doesn’t make you a good, instinctive football player.”
