Herschel Walker is a two-time Pro Bowler and former NFL running back whose career spanned 13 seasons. He played for the Dallas Cowboys, Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants. He's not a Hall of Famer, but he was one of the more prominent running backs of his era.Since his retirement, Walker has been less visible in the NFL world as his life went in other directions. However, he has recently reentered the public eye. He's running again, but this time in a different fashion. Walker is running for Senate in Georgia, the state he's from and attended college in.The former Heisman-winner is running with the Republican Party and has had a few controversial takes since becoming a politician. A reporter recently asked the Georgia candidate about women's issues, something the Senate candidate has been talking about this past week.His controversial response was:&quot;I love women... They'll be able to do it a little bit better than I can, but I mean there's no doubt... Crime is very very important. And this economy is tough, because they got to buy groceries. And I think all the inflation, the gas prices, grocery prices...&quot;PatriotTakes 🇺🇸@patriottakesHerschel Walker answers that “women’s issues” to him are “grocery prices” and “gas prices.”3131968Herschel Walker answers that “women’s issues” to him are “grocery prices” and “gas prices.” https://t.co/3KXoll8Uy5NFL fans, many of whom probably enjoyed the former NFL star while he was playing, have blasted his take.

Arnold Schwarzenegger did so by becoming Governor of California.Kevin Johnson was an NBA All-Star and is still the Mayor of Sacramento. There are a few others who have made it, but is the former Heisman-winning running back going to be one of them?Right now, it's impossible to tell.

Walker's ex-wife Cindy DeAngelis Grossman said that he held a loaded gun to her head and threatened to kill her.Some polls have Herschel Walker with a slight lead over incumbent Raphael Warnock. FiveThirtyEight, however, gives Warnock a slight lead.Recent polling data in Georgia (Image via FiveThirtyEight)Polls can often be wrong, but it certainly looks like the former running back's political future will come down to the wire.If you use any of the above quotes, please credit 13WMAZ, 11 Alive and H/T Sportskeeda.
