Hershel for Hall of Fame?

[Professor S]

When people think about Hershell Walker the word "bust" often comes to their lips. All they seem to remember is the "TRADE". You know the one. The blockbuster trade with the Vikings that traded Walker from the Cowboys to the Vikings for ungodly talent and draft picks. This of course set up the Cowboy's dominance of the NFL in the early 90's.

Meanwhile the Vikings floundered with Walker. Splitting him out at wide receiver at times and never committing to him at running back, he became a non-factor. It wasn't until he came to the Eagles that he reclaimed some of the former brilliance he had enjoyed aty Georgia and in the USFL.

Now many of you might be saying "Hall of Fame? Are you NUTS? He's a washout."

Maybe, but when he retired in 1997 after 14 years in the NFL, he was a washout with the second most all-purpose yards EVER.

18,168 yards from scrimmage.

Thats a whole lot of yards.

So my question is, do you think that he legacy as a footnote in the history of the Cowboy's championships will hurt his chances> Do you think he'll definitely be inducted? Do you think there's no way in HELL he should get in?
