ATLANTA -- Herschel Walker will reveal that he has multiple personality disorder in a book scheduled for an August release, according to a story in Friday's Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
A publicist at Simon & Schuster, which is publishing the book, said that "Breaking Free" will cover Walker's life with the disorder, the paper reported. Shida Carr offered no other details and would not give the Journal-Constitution an excerpt, according to the report.
Multiple personality disorder is also commonly known as dissociative identity disorder (DID).
Walker won a Heisman Trophy for the University of Georgia in 1982. He was third on ESPN's list of the greatest college football players ever, unveiled this year.
He left Georgia to join the USFL after his junior season, then played in the NFL from 1986-97 for Dallas, Minnesota, Philadelphia and the New York Giants.
According to the Journal-Constitution, a number of former Georgia players were surprised that Walker reportedly has multiple personality disorder, which is a relatively rare mental condition where a person has two (or more) distinct personalities.
