Walker married his college sweetheart, Cindy DeAngelis Grossman in 1983. After eighteen years of marriage they divorced in 2001.[15]

He is a born-again Christian who frequently talked about his faith during his USFL interviews. Since his retirement he has attracted little publicity, although he made a guest appearance on The Hour of Power, hosted by noted televangelist Robert Schuller.

He has a sixth-degree black belt in tae kwon do and he nearly made the Olympic team in the sprint relay. He competed in the 1992 Winter Olympics in two-man bobsled, finishing seventh.[16] He ran the 100 meters in 10.22, the 100 yards in 9.3. He also won back-to-back American Superstars competitions in 1987 and 1988. Walker stated in a phone interview on The Jim Rome Show on November 20, 2006 that he still performs 2,500 sit-ups and 1,500 push ups every morning. He has been going through this same routine every morning since high school.

In November 2007, Walker appeared on the HDNet show Inside MMA as a guest. He indicated that he would take part in a mixed martial arts reality show in the near future (along with José Canseco) and that he would have an official MMA fight at the conclusion of the show.[17]

In a 2008 autobiography entitled “Breaking Free,” Walker confesses that he suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder, formerly known as “multiple personality disorder.”[18] He has claimed that due to his disorder, he cannot remember the season he won the Heisman Trophy, let alone the moment. He also claimed that during an episode, he had held a gun to his own head. He stated he did not ever remember doing this. He is getting help for this disorder, and feels he has recovered by gaining back control.[19]

Fifteen years ago, I’d say he would’ve made a hell of an MMA fighter. At 47? Eh, I kinda doubt it. Still, he was an amazing athlete. I respect the heck out of the guy, even if he did play for the hated Plowboys.

My wife went to the University of Georgia with him and once literally ran into (and promptly bounced off) him as he was coming out of an elevator. She just looked up at him and said, “You’re Herschel, aren’t you?”

I saw an interview with Herschel a couple years ago and he said then that he wanted to get into kickboxing

Did Strikeforce have to trade any draft picks to get Herschel?

An 11-year NFL veteran and two-time Pro Bowl rusher, Walker played for the Dallas Cowboys, Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants. On Saturday, Walker's name was included on the Pro Football Hall of Fame's preliminary list of nominees for the 2010 induction class.
Okay, so, maybe he needs the money...

Of course he could be his own tag-team.
