Go Herschel!
Can't wait to see him run Millrose Friday.
He's dominant in pros versus joes....not too many joes in the nfl..
I would have liked to have seen him in MMA when he was in his 20s. He took his recent brief foray into the sport very seriously, although most people viewed it as more on the level of a sideshow stunt. He was always great at everything he did and if he had learned to grapple when he was younger, he might have gone pretty far in MMA. As it was, his MA background was in TKD and he was very good at that, but since there is virtually no grappling taught in TKD, he would have had to learn the useful MMA techniques from scratch and really get them down in order to have a chance against the best fighters. But something tells me he would have picked up the sport quickly, and with his incredible physical strength and speed, he could have done very well.
On ESPN (PTI Show) they claimed there was report he's run 4.38 40yd in the last year. Seems hard to believe, but I guess not as much when you see pics of him. A guess with his physical gifts and work ethic might have a shot. I'm sure some team will take a chance on him, big publicity doing training camp will certainly get fans out and interest in the team/ Hershel.
Herschel has a legendary work ethic, but he is getting waaay too old. Time conquers all, don't make yourself a side show man...
I just happened to see an interview with him a couple months ago. The guy looked liked he was 20. He was sitting down behind a desk but he looked in great shape too. The playing in the NFL part is ridiculous but the man is an amazing physical athlete. He kind of reminds me of a football version of Wilt Chamberlain.
