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

[jarntt]

Oh I know. I wasn't ripping you for quoting him. I know he's still in tremendous shape, but 53 YO is 53 YO and there have only been 5 sub 4.3 NFL times since they started clocking them electronically. My guess is that he'd be a lot closer to 5 than 4.3.

Unless he was using a bobsled...

Father time will win.
Banging heads with 25 year old's?
Don't think so, not on the pro level anyway.

he ran for 1500 yards at 26 (averaged 94 yards/game)

2019 yards from scrimmage

the year prior he led the league in YFS

28 years old then is when he sucked.

Whenever it was he got to MN, he was awful. He was great with a wide open hole where he could turn on the jets and start moving but he was not a good runner. And if you could get him to stop his feet and change direction, game over. He didn't have the agility needed to be a great RB. Hell he didn't have the agility to be a great TE. He was straight line speed in a big body and not much else.
