PJ Walker, the XFL’s walking highlight reel, has Twitter going wild

If the XFL was looking for a new He Hate Me, they probably found him in PJ Walker.

People have been saying that there aren’t that many good quarterbacks in the XFL and, honestly, that might be true. I’m not the guy who would be able to disprove that one.

What I can say, though, is that PJ Walker is the most fun quarterback in the XFL. And if you haven’t watched him led the Houston Roughnecks yet this season, you’re missing out.

This dude is really out here looking like the XFL’s version of Michael Vick. It’s like Walker is literally out there playing Madden or something.

Walker is a master of improvisation on the XFL level, and he frequently turns what should be nothing plays into positive gains. In the second quarter, he picked up an errant snap and just took it into the endzone himself like it was nothing. Just casually outran everyone.

This dude is unreal. He’s also out here throwing 84-yard touchdowns with defenders wrapped around his legs. Like, what?

Listen, I’m not going to say that Walker is the most fun football player in the world to watch at this very moment, but I’m also not not going to say it.  It’s not just me! Twitter agrees.

No idea if this translates into a shot at the NFL for him, but is he fun to watch.
