Walter Payton is my Favorite Running Back, I really miss Sweetness so much. RIP Walter Payton😥✝️🙏💔🕊️🏈
The greatest player to ever step on the gridiron. There's still never been anyone like Walter. He ran with absolute brutality. And then on the next play had the sweetest moves. Best blocking HB all-time. He sawed defenders in half with his blocks. Walter was the Bears top receiver early in his career. He legitimately could play QB. Threw 8 TDs in his career including a 60 yard bomb. Led league in kickoff return average rookie season. Punted once for 39 yards. Kicked FGs in college. Never ran out of bounds. Always delivered the hit. Played 13 seasons. Only missed one game, his rookie season. He wasn't injured, the coach held him out for no reason. His first three seasons were 14 game seasons. The 1982 strike shortened season cost him seven games. He graciously accepted a reduced role his last season to make room for Neal Anderson. Add it all up he lost approximately 16 games. If you add in these games he easily would've had 18,000 rushing yards. And Walter accomplished this on teams that were FAR FAR worse, on offense, than Barry Sanders' Lions, when you compare their first eight seasons. The Bears playbook early on, the joke went, was Payton left, Payton right, Payton middle. Imagine if Walter had Emmitt's O-line and offense? He'd probably would have rushed for 20,000 yards and received for 6,000. The Bears were bad and Walter could've called it quits after 9 seasons and retired. But he pushed through and got his Super Bowl ring.
One of the best runningbacks ever in NFL history and for the Bears, sad that he died at 46, feels so good that this legend is still being talked about.
Walter Payton, Jim Brown, Barry Sanders... greatest running back of all time 💯
I AM 65 YEARS. I HAVE BEEN A FOOTBALL FAN FOR 60 YEARS. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF RUNNERS COMING OUT OF THE BACKFIELD I HAVE ONE WORD FOR YOU. WALTER PEYTON
"if you couldn't make it with the team you were drafted with, and had to go somewhere else, to me, well, that was a sign of failure"
There's a reason the Walter Payton award is valued so highly by the players....
He doesn't seem extra fast, just smart, careful, agile, and a pain to take down.
Both the best RB and QB in Bears history
Walter Payton is the definition of a complete back
He’s honored every year with the Walter Payton man of the year award. But people forget or to young to know just how great of a football player he was one of the goats.
GOAT . No one played the game like Walter Payton did .
Greatest Running Back Ever and one of the greatest football players ever. Period end of Story. Side note: My dad got me one of Walter's early trading cards at a sports collectibles store outside Chicago. I think the card was from one of his Pro Bowl years. This was about 20 years ago. I was a little kid back then (obviously I wasn't alive when Walter played). I looked up how much the card is worth today and it's 500 bucks (my dad bought it for me for I think it was like 20 or something). I am definitely keeping that card. Rest in Peace, Sweetness. We still miss you. We'll always miss you. 🐻🏈
The man WAS the Bears offense. They don’t make RBs like him anymore
I'm always blown away by Walter Payton whenever I see these documentaries and highlight videos. He was a great football player and a really great human being. R.I.P Sweetness.
Walter Payton was one of one
My high school P.E Teacher was Virgil Livers. Yes....the cornerback with the infamous spear in the groin incident. He was also drafted in the same class as Payton. He told us many amazing stories about sweetness. One that sticks to me was Payton didn't lift weights much at all. His go to workout along with the hill runs was push ups.
Iam a Cowboy fan 100%, but Walter is my all-time favorite running back ever. I feel lucky to have lived in an era to watch him play. Amazing.
The true greatest running back of all time.
He’s the best all around football player to ever play in the NFL
