On behalf of 50 year old males everywhere, I hope he makes it.

I'd love to see it. He is a physical best but I don't think he has the speed for it anymore.

Herschel wasn't that great when he was younger. I bet Al Davis would sign him.

That article doesn't make sense, when this one was posted yesterday about his MMA:

I bet he will get invited to a tryout just like Brock Lesnar did a few years back.

Think he could pass a drug test for PED's? There are lots and lots of banned substances that may have been helping him get that physique

This would be a great promotion for a UFL team. I'm on the phone right now if I run one of those franchises

Despite his impressive physique, at his age the joints can't take the pounding. He won't make it out of training camp. Mark it.

I heard about his diet and exercise regimen years ago, this article outlines it pretty well. Crazy.

I don't know...maybe he was way ahead of the curve and was slipping some HGH in with his morning Orange Juice. He's just a freak of nature is all.

Yes. He had one great season (over 2,000 yards) and a few good seasons. Only rushed for 1,000 yards in a season twice.
Ranks 171st all-time in rushing yards per game. 35th in rushing yards. 38th in rushing TDs. Only 2 Pro Bowls.

He also wasted the prime years of his career in the USFL where he was an absolute monster. If you combine his USFL and NFL rushing totals, he's 5th on the all-time list. Can't fault his career for slowing after going to an awful Vikings team who didn't use him properly and also had nothing to build around him given that they traded so many picks to the Cowboys (which also created incredible pressure for him to perform considering he had to "live up" to a stupid trade that he didn't make). He still ranks 8th all time in total yardage (rushing, receiving, return). One of only six players with 60+ rushing touchdowns and 20+ receiving touchdowns.
This doesn't even take into account that he was, without much argument, one of the greatest college football players of all-time. Make no mistake about it, we're talking about a VERY talented football player/athlete.
