In 1986 he moved to the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League. He subsequently played for the Cowboys (1986-89, 1996-97), Minnesota Vikings (1989-91), Philadelphia Eagles ((1992-95), and New York Giants (1995-96). A versatile running back, pass receiver, and kick returner, Walker is (including his USFL years) professional football's all-time leading yardage gainer.

Elliot, Archibald (1760–1823). Scots architect. With his brother, James (1770–1810), he formed one of the leading Edinburgh practices of the early C19. He designed the Regent Bridge (1815–19) in the Greek Revival style, but his country-houses were usually castellated with Gothic detail (e.g. Taymouth Castle, Perthshire (1806–10)). His Grecian Forbes mausoleum, Callendar House, Stirlingshire (1816), is a distinguished variation on the circular temple theme, while Waterloo Place, Edinburgh (1815–19), demonstrates his expertise in civic design. The practice continued under his son, Archibald Junior (d. 1843), architect of the handsome Greek Revival Royal Bank of Scotland, Glasgow (1827).
