Former Eagle Walker thinks he can still play in NFL at age 49
January 25, 2011|By BERNARD FERNANDEZ, fernanb@phillynews.com
AT THE IMPROBABLE age of 48, Herschel Walker believes he can become "the George Foreman of football." Walker, the 1982 Heisman Trophy winner as a Georgia junior running back, played 15 seasons of professional football, including 1992 through '94 with the Eagles, and retired at the end of the 1997 NFL season.
He remains the only NFL player to score three ways on plays of 90 or more yards in the same season, achieving that spectacular hat trick for the Eagles in 1994 by taking it to the house on a rush, a pass reception and a kickoff return.
To hear him tell it, Walker can still give a boost to any NFL team willing to ignore the date on his birth certificate. He turns 49 on March 3.
