Herschel Walker has surely been through a run off or two in his day, but this upcoming one will be much different.
The former college football and NFL star is heading toward an official election runoff with his opponent in the Georgia U.S. Senate race.
Walker and his opponent, Raphael Warnock, both failed to reach the 50 percent mark among voters on Tuesday.
“The closely watched Senate race in Georgia between Democratic incumbent Raphael Warnock and Republican challenger Herschel Walker is headed to a Dec. 6 runoff, as neither candidate is projected to receive more than 50 percent of the vote,” the Washington Post reports.
Football fans are taking to social media to joke about the election result.
“They gone tell Herschel Walker it’s a runoff and he gonna lineup like he finna run the 40 in the combine,” one fan joked.
“Imagine trying to explain what a “runoff” is to Herschel as he tries to lace up his cleats,” one fan added.
“Who wants to tell Herschel Walker a runoff isn’t a 40-Yard Dash??” one fan added.
It’s unclear at this point if there’s a clear favorite in the upcoming runoff, which should take place in December.
