I’ve always heard people say, you never know what those who live in the spot light deal with behind close doors. Former NFL running back Herschel Walker had a decent 14 year career but has dealt with some mental illness issue after his football days.
Walker, 53, made an appearance on ESPN’s Highly Questionable talking about his glory days as well as his lowest moments.

What’s most interesting to me is that Walker admits to playing Russian roulette yet not calling it the lowest times of his life. Walker felt he was unstoppable. He felt his friends weren’t even worth competing against him. He truly felt he could overcome anything and didn’t realize the true hatred he had for himself.
