One of, if not the Greatest RB of All Time. The man never ran out of bounds. If he was going to towards the sidelines he would turn it upfield and POP whatever defensive man was there, giving him a taste of his own medicine. He had a combination of the elusiveness of Barry Sanders but with the power and pop of Jim Brown. To top it all off the guy was a Class Act. His soft spokeness and humility with remain with me forever.

I'm not a sports or football fan, but Walter Payton, I know.
As great as he was on the field, he was perhaps even better off the field.
When you look at some our athletes today, and view Payton's, life, you can see, we are missing greatness.
He left us all a legacy, that we can look back on and appreciate, and be sad that he is gone from us.

He certainly was one of the great running backs in NFL history, garnering most of his yards years before the Bears became a great team in the mid 80s. He also seemed like a class act off the field. And it is a real shame his life was cut short by that kidney ailment.

One of the greatest backs to ever play the game. He was so much fun to watch. It was like poetry in motion. There will never be another Sweetness. R-I-P.
