When you look at Payton's physical ability you question whether he was human. But when you look at his heart you know he was. I grew up watching him play and it made me love the sport.

born and raised in chicago and can honestly say Walter was not the best running back I ever saw, but the best damn football player ever,,,name it he could do it., block, pass, run, tackle,punt, kick, etc... THE BEST!!

The man was brilliant with the overall talent he had. His self created Stutter Step & locked knee Gazelle style moves are insane. One of the best things I love about him was his ability to stay disciplined, composed & professional i.e. not show off in the end zone or after a really good play. In fact, many times he'd give the ball to a lineman or even congrat the guy that tackled him. All coupled together, shows he had the "team" & "game" as priority in his bones & soul; it wasn't about "self".

I used to hate the Bears....But I'd watch every week just to watch him play. And the Bears were on EVERY week...and for quite a few years, it was because of him. He was awesome. God love ya Sweetness and restb in peace!

Walter could run. Walter could catch. Walter could block. Walter could throw. Walter could lead. I love Barry Sanders, but on the field, all he could do as run, perhaps better than anyone to ever play his position, but that's all he was.

Barry was a great runningback, Walter was a great football player.

And Walter didn't quit on the Bears like Barry did the Lions.

just to be in Walter's presence makes everyman question whether they are worthy or not of that honor. Just images of Walter make grown men cry tears of joy like

they are kids again. Chicago was blessed to have such a great ambassador of the Game. It was all just so beautiful. the world misses you Sweetness. The world needs more like you though we may not be that lucky again. RIP

I couldn't imagine a coach taken Payton out of the game in goal line situations, but the Lions took Barry out every time;maybe this is y Barry only has 99 career rushing tds.Also remember Barry Played indoors nine yimes every year(siverdome,minn)+one game in Tampa Bay,and a run and shoot offense.Payton had none of this,Barry was great untill you compare him to Payton.

@teddylawler I agree. Walter was just ridiculously good on the football field. The high character that he displayed off the field made him just that much better.
