What NFL teams did Herschel Walker play for?

Answer 1

Herschel Walker (born March 3, 1962 in Wrightsville, Georgia) was a professional American football player in the United States Football League and later, the National Football League. With endorsement considerations in mind, Walker signed with the New Jersey Generals (who, like the NFL's New York Giants, played their home games at the Meadowlands Sports Complex) in 1983, owned by Oklahoma oilman J Walter Duncan. (Duncan would sell the team to real estate mogul Donald Trump after the 1983 season) Although this move was challenged in court, Walker and the USFL prevailed and Walker began play with the Generals, winning the USFL rushing title in both 1983 and 1985 and in the latter year also gaining over 4,000 yards. He holds the Pro Football Record for Single-Season Rushing Yards with 2500 yards in 1985. The NFL's Cowboys suspected that the USFL was not going to last. They acquired Walker's NFL rights by selecting him in the fifth round of the 1985 draft. When the USFL in fact succumbed after its essentially unsuccessful antitrust suit against the NFL in 1986, Walker went to play for the Cowboys, eventually establishing himself as a premier NFL running back with two consecutive Pro-Bowl seasons (1987,1988). In 1989, at the height of his NFL career, the Cowboys traded his rights to the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for a total of five players. This was judged to be one of the seminal events in the return of the Cowboys to the top echelon of the NFL and the trade would ultimately overshadow Walker's NFL career achievments. Walker did quite well by most standards for several seasons with the Vikings before his rights were later acquired by the Philadelphia Eagles, and, subsequently, the New York Giants. Eventually and ironically, he was acquired by the Cowboys again. In this second tour with the Cowboys, he was used as a flanker and other offensive positions, not exclusively at running back. In addition to running and catching passes, Walker was also often used to return kickoffs throughout his career.
