Herschel Walker is set to resume running, Mike Rosenstein of NJ Advance Media reports.
The ex-NFL star has been encouraged by former President Donald Trump to run for the U.S. Senate in Georgia.
In a video tweeted Friday with the message Georgia on my mind, Walker indicated hes about to throw his hat into the ring: Im getting ready. And we can run with the dogs.
The video ends with a shot of a Georgia license plate on Walkers car, indicating he might be establishing residency so he can run for office in the The Peach State. Walker, you may recall, played his college ball at Georgia and won the Heisman Trophy in 1982 with the Bulldogs.
Walkers career as a pro football player began in 1983 when he signed with the New Jersey Generals in the USFL. In 1984, Trump bought the Generals. Walker played two seasons with Trump as his boss before heading to the Dallas Cowboys, who owned his NFL draft rights. The USFL folded in 1986 following its failed antitrust lawsuit vs. the NFL.

(102,379 posts)We will have to fight because Herschel has name recognition and a reputation for being readily manipulated. Those are two factors, the RW and some low information independents will gravitate to.

He wants to challenge Raphael Warnock but would first have to move to GA from TX.

(914 posts)There is something that differentiates him from many dumb jocks nearing his past talent level. He is stable and very even, mentally. If his white handlers can control his every move I see where he might do well in a Republican primary.
