The Northwestern linebacker has been dubbed "The Franchise" and has his own comic book.
We've always thought of Anthony Walker as somewhat of a superhero. He is in fact an All-American and has earned an impressive list of preseason accolades. But now, Northwestern is fully embracing and promoting Walker as the hero that it deserves. Northwestern released a video this morning, ESPN's (and Northwestern graduate) Darren Rovell reported the news shortly after.
