#34 Sweetness

The best RB ever to play the game. You don't get players like this anymore....
He died on this day back in 1999.

Re: #34 Sweetness

Had the pleasure of watching him play his pro career in Chicago, saw him play many times live. In my humble opinion, there may have been better running backs...but Walter Payton was the best all-around football player ever to play the game, and a complete class act to boot. I miss watching him play. To quote the movie Heaven Can Wait, "If there is a football team in Heaven, I know (Walter) is first string".

Im sure seeing him live was amazing. I had the chance to go to many of the Chicago Bulls games in the 90's, and to see Jordan play was something great. I can only imagine what it was like to see Payton live.

Amazing player.
It was sad to see him waste away when the cancer hit him.
