Herschel Walker talks Russian roulette, mental health issues

Former NFL running back Herschel Walker is the latest ex-player to open up about mental issues he went through while in the league.

Speaking with Dan Le Batard and Bomani Jones on ESPN’s Highly Questionable on Thursday, Walker opened up about a wide array of different topics, including his own mental health:

When pressed about rumors that he had in the past played Russian Roulette, Walker had this to say:

“You know what’s funny? It wasn’t when I was at my lowest. Russian Roulette was played…like if you came to my home, and you wanted to challenge me at anything, I didn’t think you were worthy enough.
