Herschel Walker Autographs, Memorabilia & Collectibles

A bookworm as a young boy, Herschel Walker (b.1962) embarked at age 11 on a rigorous exercise program to turn himself into an athlete. He won the Heisman Trophy (1982) as a running back at the University of Georgia. Leaving college after his junior year, at a time when the NFL would not draft students before graduation, Walker signed with the fledgling U.S. Football League, winning its MVP award in two of his three seasons there. An immediate Pro Bowler upon his move to the NFL (1986), Walker played 12 seasons in that league for the Dallas Cowboys, Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles. Walker has since started a line of food products bearing his name, danced with the New York and Fort Worth Ballet companies, finished seventh in the 2-man bobsled event at the 1992 Winter Olympics, and done much charitable work. It should surprise no one that he is much in demand as a motivational speaker.
