The Sweetness Of Football
He was one of the greatest running backs to ever play the game. Walter Payton was well known simply by all his fans as “Sweetness”. His entire professional career was played for the NFL’s Chicago Bears. He is known as the most creative running back in the history of American Football having broken many records of the time including most career rushing yards, touchdowns, carries, and many other categories. A nine-time Pro Bowl selection Walter Payton was described by Coach Mike Ditka as the greatest player he had ever seen.
On November 1, 1999, Payton died of complications from a rare autoimmune liver disease known as “primary sclerosing cholangitis”. In memory of who I believe is the best versatile running back that ever played in the National Football League I will be wearing my Walter Payton throwback Chicago Bears jerseys as much as possible.
