I met walter when I was in junior high. I was only with him for a minute or so and I couldn't look at the camera when trying to get a picture with him because he was too busy tickling me and I was cracking up. He made me feel like a friend in less than 60 seconds. This was a special dude and I will always remember him.

Med Scratch That is a great story! I can relate. I actually met him in Jr high as well! At a private b day party for his back up running back Willie McClendon. He was our neighbor and we dog sat for him! I was in complete shock when Walter walked in!! He was an absolute class act! He had a way with making you feel like you were family the instant you meet him! He was an absolute gem. I really can’t remember what he said but I remember him being a total comedian. Will never be another Walter. One of a kind!

He died 74 days after I was born. I never watched him play live and I never will. Every time I watch his highlights I sit there and I try my absolute hardest to critique him. anything he did. a cut or a move or anything. and I just can't because even if he made one mistake, he'd make the same move later and it would end up with him steamrolling defenders or just pirouetting by them. I'm sad the era of the running back is gone but I'm so grateful he even existed. what an inspiration

Payton may not have been the best runner of the three, but he was, without question, the most complete back. Payton was an effective receiver and could pass the ball as well. Further Payton was an excellent blocker. His game was not limited to highlight reel runs.

I only watched Walter Payton play a few games on TV, but he was clearly something special. On one play, I saw him break through the line of of the other team's defense, and accelerate quickly for a good gain. However, a defensive player had an angle on Payton from Payton's left side. Payton, unlike most runners, did not try to avoid the defensive player, who was definitely getting ready to level him. Just before the two made contact, Payton lowered his left left shoulder and his head. When the contact came, Payton hit the defensive player first. The defensive player hung on and swung Payton around until he finally bought Payton down. Payton hopped up and waited for his teammates to get to the new line of scrimmage. The defensive player was still on the ground when the cameras cut away. I still remember the distinctive Whunk! sound made when the two players made contact, even after all this time. Walter Payton was indeed a special man and a great player.

What can you say about Sweetness, God bless his soul. A player who could run, take the hits and never lost his attitude of winning. I don't ever remember me seeing him lose his cool and he did take some huge hits, some wrong. I wish, the Bears could find this formula again.

I had the good fortune of living a hundred miles south of Chicago and getting all of their broadcasts. I watched Walter Peyton for most of his career and also had the good fortune to realize that I was watching a legend and that I'd never see another player like him again in my lifetime. I was right. I've seen a lot of good players but never another Walter Peyton. Maybe he wasn't (or isn't) the best "runner" in NFL's history, but he was the best all around player that ever played RB.

To me he was simply the GOAT of RB'S. WP, had the power to run inside, the speed to go outside, catch like a WR, block like a T, pass when required and was always available to play. Now because the RB position has been devalued younger fans realise just how great a player WP was. RIP " Sweetness" we will never see your like again. Go Hawks

Better man, did you not watch the full video? I won’t deny that Walter Payton was the greatest running back to ever play but I think it’s kind of contradictory that there’s an award named after him despite the fact he wasn’t a very good human being. Was he a good husband? By conventional standards certainly not he provided for his family but he wasn’t very faithful

Ditka was the biggest jackass on the planet. Say you're B. Ryan and invent a defense that optimizes their strengths. Then with nothing but a rookie qb and a running back I come along and use a 1st round draft pick on a out of shape fullback. Damn Ditka was dumb

Grew up with him. First memories of him being the best Chicago had. Got older and was shocked that he got ill. One thing I liked about him is that he never got into trouble and seemed like a good team mate. I think he had CTE because he kept his head down constantly and got clanged pretty good play after play. His kids seem really good too. A shame he died so young.

His breath in the cold weather would huff n puff through his helmet just like a raging bull. R.I.P. Sweetness! You're the Greatest of All Time! Had to come here and check out sweetness after finding his jersey I wore which is more than 40 years old! Thanks for posting his football life much appreciated.
