The only player to win two Heisman's was Archie Griffin, who could have won the Heisman three times (his sophemore year, in terms of yardage, was better than his senior year). One of the weirdest things about Griffin, to me, was that the guy ended up going 24th. Of course, the first pick that year was Lee Roy Selmon, a future hall-of-famer. Jackie Slater and Harry Carson went pro that year, too. Good year for the big men, I guess. Dan, good catch.

I must correct you on one thing. He only won the Hiesman once. The only player to win it twice was from Ohio State. He should have won it his freshman year and his sophmore years. Up until Tim Tebow though, the only people to win it were upper classman. At least to my knowledge. As much as I love H.W.. I must correct you on one thing. He only won the Hiesman once.

He is genetic specimen, and although he is old, he trained martial arts long time, he is strong so he has decent chances to be average fighter at least. His fights would be interesting to watch.

So I'm not sure why I should feel any different about it happening now? Is it because his name is Herschel Walker?

He has always been into martial arts and often cited it has the best way he kept in shape for football. I believe he also did ballet at one point. Even at 47 I am sure he's in tremendous shape (he supposedly does over 1000 push ups and situps a day). It will be interesting. Herschel was in his day perhaps the best athlete on the football field.
