Richard Walker (born May 28, 1955 in Santa Ana, California) is a former American football tight end in the NFL, who played for the Cincinnati Bengals and the Washington Redskins. He played college football at UCLA. Nickname is "Doc".
[edit] Broadcasting career
Walker currently covers sports during radio broadcasts in the Washington Metro Area and hosts The Doc Walker Show on WTEM. He used to be a co-host on The John Thompson Show. He hosts a weekly television show called "Doc Walker's ProView," which airs Sunday mornings on Comcast SportsNet. He is also the main color analyst for ACC football games for Raycom/Lincoln Financial Sports and appears in D.C. Lottery commercials.
[edit] Nicknames created for Redskins players
He often makes up ridiculous nicknames for Redskins players such as "Tarantula" for Sean Taylor, "Caveman" for Mike Sellers and "Mongoose" for Marcus Washington. Those from other teams and arenas are not spared this lunacy, as Vernon Davis, the tight end from Maryland who was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers, is referred to only as "Cyborg." Chris Long from the University of Virginia was recently branded by Walker as "neanderthal."
