Herschel Walker

Herschel Walker is one of the most staggering athletes I've ever read about. A Heisman Trophy out of Georgia, twelve NFL seasons as a running back, then bobsled, taekwondo and mixed martial arts, the kind of multi-sport resume that almost sounds invented. To me that's pure, relentless competitive drive, a refusal to be defined by one game. His later turn into politics and diplomacy, including an ambassadorship, only adds to how unusual his arc is. Whatever you make of those chapters, the raw physical legend remains: a man from small-town Georgia who simply refused to accept the idea of a limit.
