Most people consider running back Herschel Walker to be the greatest player who ever suited up for the Georgia Bulldogs.

He was Superman. Legend has it that he once yanked a door off a smoking car to remove a woman trapped in a wreck.

Walker had the strength of two men -- unless the two men are Georgia running backs Nick Chubb and Sony Michel.

Walker led the Bulldogs to a national championship in 1980 and the duo of Chubb and Michel have helped Georgia reach Monday’s national title game too.

Watch the video above and compare stats for Walker in 1980 and the Chubb/Michel duo this season and decide which you’d rather have.
