Walker also said in his interview with Omnisport that he’s impressed with another former Bulldogs running back standout in Todd Gurley, who was named the NFL’s offensive rookie of the year this past February after rushing for 1,106 yards in 2015.

Legendary University of Georgia running back Herschel Walker claims that his public support for presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump is hurting his professional life.

In the 1980s, Walker played for the USFL’s New Jersey Generals, who were owned by Trump.

Walker, 54, appeared on Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice in 2009 on NBC.

Forget about the fact that Walker is 54 years old and hasn’t played in the National Football League since 1997, the man still thinks he can be a difference-maker in the National Football League where he’d be playing against people who weren’t even in kindergarten when he finished his playing career. But I’ve never seen anything that [made me] consider Donald is a racist.

According to Playing Field Promotions, Walker’s booking fee ranges from $20,000 to $30,000.

“We have to do what’s right to save America”.

“Just because you want to build a wall, doesn’t mean you’re a racist”, he continued.
