Herschel Junior Walker (born March 3, 1962) is an American former football running back who won the Heisman Trophy and Maxwell Award in 1982 and later played 15 years of professional football in the United States Football League (USFL) and National Football League (NFL). Off the field, he was the Republican nominee in the 2022 United States Senate election in Georgia, and is the nominee for United States Ambassador to the Bahamas in President Donald Trump's second term.
Walker played college football at the University of Georgia, winning the Heisman Trophy and Maxwell Award as a junior. He spent the first three seasons of his professional career with the New Jersey Generals of the USFL and was the league's MVP during its final season in 1985. After the USFL folded, Walker joined the NFL with the Dallas Cowboys, earning consecutive Pro Bowl and second-team All-Pro honors from 1987 to 1988. In 1989, Walker was traded to the Minnesota Vikings, which is regarded as one of the most lopsided trades in NFL history and credited with establishing the Cowboys' dynasty of the 1990s. He was later a member of the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants before retiring with the Cowboys. Walker was inducted to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1999.
Outside of football, Walker was a member of the United States' bobsleigh team at the 1992 Winter Olympics and pursued business ventures in food processing. From 2019 to 2020, he served as a co-chair on the President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition under President Donald Trump. Walker launched his first political campaign in Georgia's 2022 Senate election, which he lost to Democratic incumbent Raphael Warnock.
On December 18, 2024, President-elect Trump announced that he had selected Walker as his nominee to serve as U.S. Ambassador to the Bahamas.
