Walter Payton opened my eyes to GOD being in a person
-
he is the reason i started playing football
-
and to anyone who is going to say im a biased bears, i have uploaded highlight videos of barry sanders and emmitt smith and at some point going to make highlight videos of earl campbell, eric dickerson, jim brown, etc. my point is, sure jim brown and campbell had more power than payton, sanders was more elusive, but none of them had the numerous overall abilities that payton had.

@nsaucier1988 @secompton95 barry sanders ran behind 3 multi-time probowl linemen, one of which is a hall of fame nominee
-lomas brown (LT) was a 7 time probowler and 1 time first team all pro, hall of hame
-kevin glover (C) was a 3 time probowler
-jeff hartings (RG) was a 2 time probowler and 1 time first team all pro
payton never even had 1 linemen that made even 1 pro-bowl until 1984, his 10th year in the league, way past his prime, 70's-early 80's bears far worse than lions were.

my response to everyone arguing over who is the best runningback
-i agree that sanders was the most elusive and best pure runner of all time, but by no means does that mean he is the best at the runningback position. there is way more to being a runningback than just running, payton was elusive, had power, greatest stiff arm, greatest blocker, one of the greatest receiving backs, greatest option passing back, returned kicks, no one has yet to ever do as much as payton did.

So humble was Walter and such a great teammate that is what made him so special. His talent spoke for itself.
I beleive that Walter Payton was the greatest Football player of the modern Pro football era (Post 1960) I say that because he was the most durable (missing one game in his 13 year career), He was a devastating blocker, Excellent receiver out of the backfield, Terrific passer on the option, great runner and was the back-up punter and place-kicker. Others may have been better at a certain aspect as a runningback, but no one was the compkete package like Payton.
