- One of the greatest runningbacks to ever play in the NFL. Known as "Sweetness", Payton broke Jim Browns' rushing record, tallying 16,726 rushing yards and 110 rushing touchdowns. Walter was a complete player, throwing 8 touchdowns and catching 15 touchdowns en route to the Hall of Fame, along with 9x Pro Bowls and 5x All Pro.

No disrespect to anyone. But he is Greatest RB that I actually saw play the game.
He was the best all around running back ever. Mike Ditka said Walter was the greatest football player he ever saw.
I have been a Raiders fan since 1974 and Walter Payton is my favorite player of all time.
Greatest player ever. He could do anything.
Died way too young...... greatest HB of all time
Jim Brown may have been more dominant, Barry Sanders may have had better moves, but Walter Payton was the complete package. Running, receiving, passing, blocking and he even punted in his rookie year.
Versatility, heart, and durability I think are Walter's greatest strengths.
@@dukewilson14 im a bears fan, and a generational one. when I tell you these bears teams were terrible, I mean it. My uncle once sat me down to watch a Payton game and I was just shocked at how awful every single player on the offense was
Sweetness
Still, Jim Brown was the best ever.
And a hell of a dancer, he was on soul train.
No player today plays with his determination .
his ability to stay on his feet was nuts. almost impossible to knock him off balance.
Walter Payton was the OG of OGs..met him at a car race in Dallas and he was so chill. Posed for a picture and was just so cool.
One man Army. RIP Sweetness.
Greatest RB of all time. Period. Others were faster, stronger, or shiftier, but no one before or since has put it all together the way Walter did. Running, blocking, throwing, catching, and even punting. He was also one of the nicest, hardest working, most humble men you could ever hope to meet.
@🏈Savage Red Sports🏈 love how you have to try to insult someone to try and make an incorrect point. Barry Sanders was definitely a one man gang and underrated but definitely wasn't a Walter Payton
@🏈Savage Red Sports🏈 it's a different conversation. barry sanders was the best pure runner we have ever seen in the NFL. payton was a more "complete" back. im biased as a bears fan but I believe payton was better purely because he carried his teams to success and had a bigger impact on all facets of the game. Sanders was easily more agile and swift than payton but payton was just different. he was sanders size but ran like a power back mixed with a speed back
@🏈Savage Red Sports🏈 the difference is balance. payton could get hit by anyone and stay on his feet, barry would just avoid them
The humility part seems to be a common theme I love among the greatest RBs: Walter, Barry, Earl Campbell, Ricky Williams (yes, I think he belongs in the conversation), probably throw in Tony Dorsett, and even LT. None of them were mouthy or ostentatious, just whooped your ass and politely handed the ref the ball until they got a chance to do it again.
@@spjr99 This is the correct take. Barry was the best pure runner, the greatest all time to run the ball, but Payton was the greatest all time to occupy the position. The two claims are not identical. If I was building my all-time team, Barry and Earl Campbell would be my two back rotation, but if I had to choose only one back to be on the team, Payton would likely *just* edge out LaDainian Tomlinson. I commented elsewhere, Payton is the hybrid offspring of Earl Campbell and Gale Sayers - hard to make an argument he wasn't the best asset at RB.
He looked like he was playing against pop warner kids. Probably the most athletic player to ever play in the NFL.
Nobody did it better, he could do it all ! In my opinion the GOAT
RIP Sweetness. 👍🙏
I’m from Dallas, Emmitt may hold the record but Payton was the best RB…
Absolutely
That’s one of the most truthful statements I’ve heard about a true running back , complete football player and total gentleman.
If Walter played for Dallas instead of Emmitt, he would've gains 22,000 yards, easily
Emmitt said the same thing in an interview a few years ago
Agreed.
Walter Payton refused to go down. AWESOME running back!!
I still miss this man
Apparently the moral of the story is, if an athlete from Chicago has the flu, the opponent is gonna have a bad day.
That was a 😎 cool Statement.
*hangover
Facts it was a 103 degree fever and bro ran for 100+ yards that just proves he is the goat rb
He just wasn’t the best at the game, he had the most HEART of any rb I’ve ever had the pleasure to watch to date and it’s 2023. I haven’t seen a running back with heart like him since then you can’t tell me any different and if you do, don’t think I’m gonna reply or it’s going to be a nasty reply back.
@@JennNJ10 sweetness, I'm Blessed to have been born when I did if not the only way I could have seen his raw talent would have been the high lite reels, I enjoyed hearing him talk about the game he just played and how the team played, and not how he played,he always gave all the credit to his blocker's, yes I will agree with you there will not be another player like Payton, don't get me wrong there's going to be some good running backs, but not with the love or heart that he had for the game, and his fame wasn't handed to him he worked hard ever since he was young, and the God given talent that was given to him.thanks friend for all the Sunday football memories
This brings a tear to my eye, a childhood hero to a life long role model, I LOVE WALTER PAYTON THE WORLD COULD SURE USE A FEW MILLION OF YOU. 😢
Same here. Loved him since i was 7 years old.
I totally agree grew up in the 70's in Pittsburgh area during those great Steelers years but I remember wanting to watch the Bears play bc I wanted to see him play. Class act guy yes no one did it better.
Can’t believe how hard I am crying watching football highlights….😂🤦🏾🤷🏾♂️….cheering like a child 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Same. On my short list of heroes since childhood.
My role model too the nicest man I ever met.I was in reform school in 1978 outside of Jackson Mississippi and he took the time to come visit us and played softball with us what a nice person .And a Christian which was a plus for my hero.Thank You Mr. Payton I'll never forget meeting you.
#52 Danny Neal...center for Bears and great blocking center for the immortal Walter Peyton. Made a typical cross block on WP's record breaking run. Unsung hero on great Bears line! My Louisville Kentucky "BUDDY"!!!
I mean they call him the most complete football player of all time
From Michigan, but I am a Bears fan because of sweetness. The very best!!!!
He ran with great power & strength but was so graceful & fluid!! Few few athletes have everything but Walter (Sweetness) Payton did, poetry in motion!!
He was a better human being! Thank you sweetness!! We need more people like him!!
Legend in my eyes the best. I don't think their will ever be any back better than sweetness. He was before my time would have been sweet to watch him play!
Hard to argue against Walter. Wanted every yard he could get play in and play out.
Ahhh Man he was a serious runner it wonderful watching him as a kid
Most complete back ever to play the game and the best RB ever as well. Easily one of the best football players every to ply the gridiron.
Still the greatest RB I’ve ever seen and one of my childhood heroes.
For the majority of his career, the Bears had one offensive capability, and he was it. Everyone knew he was going to get the ball, yet few could do a thing about it. Yes, he got crushed on occasion, and yes, he missed 3rd down conversions, but when an entire defense knows you are getting the ball, play, after play, after play, its miraculous what he accomplished. A true GOAT!
Oh yeah, and he LOVED to block for his full backs! I vividly remember him saying he was frustrated because he didn't get to do it more often. He loved to hit linesman and linebackers!
People fail to mention that he played 13 seasons only to miss 1 game superman for sure rest in peace Walter.
Payton was the greatest RB of all time. I am blessed to have watched him in my youth.
"34"
What a beast. Barry, Bo, Jim Brown, Eric Dickerson. Emitt Smith but none was as exhilarating as Sweetness.
I watched him play and he was the best. I'm a Browns fan and saw him brown play on some great browns teams and saw oj play and payton was in a league of his own on some pretty bad bears teams. I can't remember a time that he was ever stopped in the backfield, and this guy was loved even more off the field.
But Jim Brown was a beast, an exceptional athlete! All-American in two manly sports (Syracuse Lacrosse too)! A physically imposing man, a behemoth specimen he really crunched players, he was all heart and soul on and off the field!
@@pedrofrancochau2643 Jim brown also had a really good team.
The saying his rookie year was that Walter's greatest runs were just to get back to the line of scrimmage. The blocking was THAT bad.
Walter payton was just a monster!
I remember a story about walter payton in a documentary that said he got good at dodging tackles when he was the youngest sibling or family member playing with his other siblings and family members that were bigger and stronger then he was so he would have to make them miss tackling him (juke them) and would always have to be faster then them and that mind set stuck with him as he got older... Its one thing that always stucks with me.
Walter Payton. 2nd greatest player I have ever seen. RIP Walter Payton
Who's first? My vote is Barry. Walter Payton was a machine, but Barry was an alien on the field.
@@haroldfarquad6886 walter was also crazy on the field. idk how some of y’all say one is better😹 like you can’t really tell who is better when they played on different teams
His Yards After Contact Statistic has got to be an Astronomical Number in itself.
No player from the NFL had ever finished Payton off season workout! Many tried, that why he was the greatest to ever play the position!!
WhOA.🔥
I love all my fellow Mississippians. But Walter is my favorite ❤️ ❤
sweetness. running for 16K yards and 100 TDs behind some of the worst O-lines the NFL has ever witnessed. rip 34
Walter was sweetness! I named my daughter after him. He was definitely my childhood hero. Awesome video.😎
Man could jump over dat goal line
You named your daughter Walter?
@@AllusernamesgoneFUCK I named her Payton lol.
@@davidwires1849 hahhaha
@@davidwires1849 great choice
I was a cowboys fan but when asked who I thought was the greatest, I never batted an eye... I always said " Ol sweetness, Walter Peyton " His ability to carry the Bears when they had nothing and to humbly watch the fridge carry it in from 2 yrds out in the Super Bowl . Lot of people , including me, blamed Ditka for many years for not letting Walter score that but in hindsight, it just made him that much of a bigger legend! I think Emmitt Smith had a great admiration for Walter and I am glad it was him to break his record. Emmitt would never had survived the shitty teams that Walter carried on his back. I had a sports illustrated poster on my wall of Walter in high school. My friends asked why? I said, he showed up every day with the attitude of, if we lose, it won't be because of me".....Legend!
It was a pleasure watching this great running back when I was a kid
Only half back in NFL history that had the moves and speed of a deer. He was so graceful to watch and was a beautiful human being to boot!
As long as football is played, Walter Payton will always be the pinnacle for other backs to follow.
I was lucky enough to grow up in Chicago watching Walter, and then moved to Detroit to watch Barry Sanders... amazing humans both.
I watched every Pro game cWalter played and no question about it he was the greatest RB of all time
The best ever hands down.
I think it's close between him, Barry Sanders, and Jim Brown. I don't have an argument for anyone who picks these guys as the GOAT runningback cause they're all great.
BEST FOOTBALL PLAYER OF ALL TIME. not running back, FOOTBALL PLAYER.
Unbelievable player. Makes RUclips worthwhile by himself.
He had some baddass blockers 😜💯
Who? Maybe in his 11th season… but for the first 10 seasons he carried a load that no other back had to deal with.
GOAT running back.
@🏈Savage Red Sports🏈 ...no, he got it right.
Simply the best ever..........
Walter & Barry electrifying! I met Jim Brown at Paramount Studios 60+ yrs. old early 90´s,, a beheamoth of a man (superior athlete the Prototype he was so friggin huge) too young to have seen him play, but I knew from what I heard and read, these are your top 3 running backs all-time!!
agreed. Jim Brown was the original bruiser with great agility, payton was the all around back with a heart of steel who never went down and barry was the most talented and creative runner we've ever seen, cursed to be on the lions.
No disrespect to Jim Brown, but Earl Campbell was a better RB if you're judging objectively. Jim dominated in an era with vastly inferior defensive athletes. Earl would be terrifying if he played today, I doubt Jim could make an NFL roster.
Walter Payton is no doubt one of the greatest running back in the history of the NFL. He was a complete football player who had never run out of bounds and he gave everything he had. He was heck of a football player. He pass, block, catch passes, and was a fearless back. He is the 🐐! Salute to #34 Sweetness!
i have seen very few physical geniuses like him in my life. I am proud to have played close to where he did
Thanks for making this. I’ve never seen more determination and concentration as when you look in Walter’s eyes during a run.
The original beast mode.
the narration was done by the late Jeff Kaye-who at one time was an announcer at WBEN 930 radio in Buffalo, NY
Like Jim and Barry, Walter was in a class all by himself!
Feel privileged to have grown up in Chicago, during I time when I was old enough to appreciate just how great a player he was.
I'll always resent though that he didn't get his TD in SB XX. As much as I liked Ditka, he should've given Payton more opportunities in that game.
The most awesome greatest running back of all time. #1 running back no doubt about it. No arguments about it Walter Payton is #1. I'm a Cowboys fan from Texas but Walter Payton #34 is absolutely #1 of all time. I'm blessed to have seen him play.
Not a Bears fan and I don't dislike the Bears but in my opinion with all due respect to Jim Brown, Sweetness did it better than anyone.
Incredible player
Payton's running style was like a cross between a Gayle Sayers and Jim Brown. Or somewhere in between. Elusive but a powerback at the same time.
When you think about it, for most of his 13 year career he was the only offensive threat that the Bears had. And in those 13 years he missed only one game ! If they had more weapons he could have played longer and gained more yards.
The goats come outta Mississippi just so y’all know
For me the top 3 ever (is personal) 3 Beast Mode( Marshawn Lynch, 2 Great Franco (Harris) and number one ?
WALGOAT PAYTON, sweetness , unique player , the BEST running black ever
Payton was the best hands down
I remember watching an end of game major play. Defense formed an impenetrable wall. I was thinking there is NO way Payton is getting through that... the ball was snapped, handoff to Payton and he JUMPED over the whole pile... my jaw hit the floor.. defense was grabbing in the air.. lol... still gobsmacked 40 years later. RIP Walter the legend.
Greatest ever,simple as that. That's pure heart, never give up determination . No chest thumping, look at me nonsense. Superman in cleats. Terribly unfair that he's gone so soon. Rip Walter, your the king.
When people debate best RB of all-time, there are only 2 names that should be mentioned. Barry Sanders & Walter Peyton.
Makes me sick when I hear Smith. Emmitt was a legend, a fantastic player, & a true Hall of Famer. But the idea he was in the same category as Barry or Walter is just insanity.
I do think he is in the same level as Barry and Payton… but clearly a tier lower. Top 3 or Payton, Brown and Barry… next for the top 5 is Emmitt and Ladainian Tomlinson
Walter Payton was simply a bigger version of Barry Sanders with the breakway speed. If Barry was a couple inches taller him and Walter would have been the exact same. I mean Barry got caught so many times after he broke away but if had the breakaway speed, he would have been the GOAT.
Second best my eyes ever seen..BUT I was young when he was in his prime. I remember 25 cent Big Mac’s!🤤 after the Super Bowl. Barry is the best I ever seen
3rd best. He was too one dimensional. He was exceptional at that dimension, but but he didn’t add value in the passing/receiving game, or off ball with pass blocking, run blocking, route participation or as a decoy.
He was also viewed as a liability in short yardage situations since nearly 1 run in 4 was for zero or negative yards. Enormous talent… but soundly behind Payton and Brown. And clearly ahead of Emmitt, LT, Faulk, Dickerson, OJ, Campbell and Peterson.
I am a diehard washington fan and don't get me wrong Riggo was my dude but dis dude never had put on a washington uniform and he was my favorite running back, and still
7:40 - he could have walked into the endzone untouched, but instead turned into the defenders. Savage.
I don’t know if anyone will ever read these comments, but as a lifelong Bear Fan, Sweetness was my first boyhood idol. Amazing football player who did everything well. He also missed, I believe, only one to two games in his career. After watching some of these passes he his making also makes me think he should have been the Bears QB as well. I mean really, he had to be better then Avellini, Phipps and Evans in those early years. 😂 I am sure some of you have seen the segment Angry Runs by Kyle Brandt on NFL Network. I think Payton could have been a winner every week. I mean he was only 5’10 maybe, but he punished defenders and never ran out of bounds. RIP Sweetness. You are on the Mount Rushmore of greatest Bears ever.
RESPECT.
Bless you for this film. But at the time I wish everyone could see the games. Walter payton moved like silk on defenses. Before Jordan. THERE WAS SWEETNESS.
He is one of my favorite NFL players including certain running backs and certain quarterbacks .
I used to watch the Bears just to watch him run back when the Bears were losing. He was the one bright spot on the whole team. He knew how to change directions and turn on the jets in the open field. And he would outrun them! He had a good straight arm, too.
When they finally put together a great team around him they finally won a Super Bowl.
Greatness!
They called him Sweetness because he was so soft spoken.
.. you right about that straight arm
@@UNIQUEWALKER-pl9bp Ge He had a strong left arm
And would often run 20 yards just off a left Arm. The Bears had Butkus and Payton. Payton and Jordan were a joy to watch. The Bulls had Jordan. I remember when they were the only star on the team. It took a long time to assemble a great team around them. I remember Jerry Sloan. Dirty player.
We had Ray Nitchkie, Vince Lombardi and Bart Starr. Immortals! But I really admired and respected Butkus, Jordan and Payton.
Man, when they would hesitate for a second and shift gears it was breathtaking.! You never knew what they were going to do. They were unstoppable!
@@dynjarren8355 DANG ! TALK ABOUT HEART AND MUSCLE 💪 FLESH MIRACLES IN MOTION, HAD TO BE A WONDERFUL SIGHT .. STAY PEACE ON THIS PLANET BRUH ✌🏿
When I was.a kid I we played a game called over the top, inspired by Walter. He was a marvel to watch. Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, Earl Campbell were absolutely the best. RIP Sweetness!
13 years as an NFL running bs k only missed one game nuff said !!!!
And that was back when the defense actually wrapped up to tackle now they just push and bump Walter would have a field day with today’s defensive players
My Favorite Chicago Bears RB. May He R.I.P.
I was raised up with his super power ! Love him RIP !
Walter Payton was a very kind man, except on the football field. He was brutal at times, but what he ALWAYS was was humble, never gloating with in zone dances or celebrations upon scoring. There will never be another Walter Payton...NEVER.
There are only two who rank as GOATs. Walter and Jerry Rice.
Absolutely Astounding !!!
GOAT in my 👀❗️ Most complete RB ever! Indeed!
Walter Payton's nickname on the gridiron was "Sweetness". Even though watching him run the ball was sweet to watch, he ran every play with brutality and tenacity. He could cut back against the field to avoid getting hit but he would prefer to run the defender over.
He had strong legs and a small but durable powerful compact body that punished the defenders whenever they collided with him. His trademark forearm and trademark jolt to the defender's facemask was a thing of beauty and the way he ran that ball cuffed in one hand also made his running style so sweet to watch.
Caveat: If y'all wanna know who Jim Brown is referring to when he's taking shots at a running back who avoids defenders, ran out of bounds on plays and who didn't play a physical brand of football and who Jim Brown did not personally congratulate for breaking his record, He is referring to Franco Harris who I believe broke Brown's record before Payton (but don't quote me on that part). Edit: Franco Harris although a threat to break Jim Brown's record before Payton, he fell short of the record by 120 yards. He was at the end of his career when he was traded to the Seattle Seahawks who didn't use him as the featured back. Thus Franco miss breaking Jim Brown's record which I am sure made Jim Brown happy since he didn't care for Franco too much,.
Jim Brown could not stand the great Franco Harris. Harris played running back for the Pittsburg Steelers back in the 70's and early 80's and when he was a threat to break Jim Brown's record, Brown didn't respect Harris because Harris, although he was a big running back, refused to play a physical style of football.
Harris would often run out of bounds as opposed to take hits from the defense. I personally don't blame Harris for the way he played and I think he was a smart man for playing that way. I wish more players in football would protect their health and try to avoid as much physical contact as humanely possible.
Waler Payton has the best run that went for maybe 50 years. That run against KC I saw as a kid on a re-run, and couldn't believe what I was seeing. I couldn't understand how anyone could be that good.
The Best ❤
R.I.P Walter Payton my dads favorite player of all time
It was his favorite athlete
as a packer backer way back his1st year so so with bears i remember. they said this guy will be the next gale sayers. i didn't see it that day but was 'wow, their heaping expectations on him."
As Lawrence Taylor himself said being hit by Walter Payton was like being hit by a bus.
All you can say is WOW..
You don't see running backs hit and spin like Walter did, he was on another level,him and Barry Sanders were definitely the GOATs at the running back position
The greatest of all time!
one word................Spectacular!!!!
WP signed my WP Topps card not once, but twice! On the same card!
True story!
He said “ because you’re wearing Bears clothes, I’ll sign it again.”
After he signed the first time, the marker was dried out so you could barely make out the signature. So I asked him to sign it again with different marker.
I still think Barry Sanders is the greatest RB of all time, but Walter Payton was a test tube hybrid made in a lab using the DNA from Earl Campbell and Gale Sayers. You can't convince me otherwise.
Sweetness had the buttery smoothness of Gale and the tenacity of Earl. Fun fact: if you look up the word "tenacious" in a dictionary, it reads "see Walter Payton."
Walter Payton always be the best in my book and it a shame he left this finding for his life and he be missed.
