Former University of Georgia running back Herschel Walker stars in a new Heisman House commercial.

In the commercial, former Heisman-winners discuss how mascots are immune to aging as they themselves get older.

Former Southern California football player Marcus Allen shares his theory that Walker is also part-mascot, because the former running back is still in incredible shape at 55 years old.

Walker, who notoriously claimed that he could still play in the NFL, backflips into the scene, proving Allen’s theory.
