Sports and Torts: Herschel Walker

We talk with the Heisman Trophy winner about his career at Georgia, the USFL, playing with Tony Dorsett, and the blockbuster trade that defined his career.

Herschel Walker

Herschel Walker was born in Augusta, Georgia and grew up outside of Wrightsville, Georgia. For the first eleven years of his life, Herschel Walker showed little interest in sports; he preferred reading books and writing poetry. At age 12, however, he began a crash exercise program. Over the next year, he did 100,000 push-ups, 100,000 sit-ups and sprinted thousands of miles.
In high school, Walker played football and basketball and competed in track and field. He scored a record-breaking 86 touchdowns as a running back and led his teams to state championships in both football and track, while maintaining an A average. Herschel Walker participated in the 1980 Academy of Achievement program as the valedictorian of his class and the most sought-after high school football player in the nation.
At the University of Georgia, Walker set an NCAA freshman rushing record and helped capture the national collegiate football title. He earned consensus All-American honors three consecutive years, set 10 NCAA records, 15 Southeast Conference records, 30 Georgia all-time records, and capped a sensational college career by earning the 1982 Heisman Trophy in his junior year.
In 1983, Walker gave up his final year of collegiate eligibility and turned professional, joining the New Jersey Generals of the short-lived United States Football League. Walker dominated the league, earning Most Valuable Player honors and setting the single-season pro football rushing record (2411 yards). After his first pro season, he finished his Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice at the University of Georgia. Walker joined the Dallas Cowboys in 1986, where he led the entire NFL in rushing and earned All-Pro honors. Walker moved to the Minnesota Vikings as starting running back in 1989. In 1992, he joined the Philadelphia Eagles football team, but returned to the Dallas Cowboys in 1996. He retired from the NFL in 1997.

Kennedy Summers

The future is bright with Playmate Kennedy Summers. She’s tall – 5’ 8 ½”, to be precise – with blonde hair, blue eyes and a truly superior intellect. With a bachelor’s degree in anthropology, German-born Kennedy is a dedicated pre-med student, and she’s finishing a master’s in health administration while she’s at it. “I’ve modeled for more than ten years, and I’ve traveled all over the world,” says Kennedy. And travel she has – From Italy, Germany and France to Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong, she’s the very definition of an international model – but she’s got her sights set on her M.D., and plans to trade in her garter belt for a clean-cut white coat and stethoscope. “Being a Playmate is my grand finale,” she says. “I want to become a plastic surgeon, and I want to have my own clinic, too!” No matter what she does, we’re sure that Miss Summers will do it well – this girl was made to be a Playmate, and she’s one hot doctor we wouldn’t miss an appointment with.
