Imagine What Herschel Walker Could Have Done If...

Imagine what Herschel Walker might have done if he had been fully aware during his 1982 season at Georgia. Check this excerpt taken from an article written by Sam Friedman of newsminer.com,
Herschel Walker has said he doesn’t remember winning college football’s highest individual honor because of mental illness.

Walker, who went on to play in the NFL and compete in the Olympic in two-man bobsled, suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder — formerly known as multiple personality disorder. As a result, he has said he does not remember the entire 1982 football season when he won the Heisman Trophy for the University of Georgia Bulldogs.

1982 was Walkers last season with the Georgia Bulldogs, and he tallied 1,752 yards and 6 touchdowns that year—he won the Heisman that season and then made the jump to the USFL—and he essentially admits to doing so on auto-pilot.

Talk about impressive.
