Bob Builder lmao you’re funny madden fanboy. First off, even if he didn’t get injured he would’ve stuck to baseball and not play much football. So he would not have the stats to prove he’s the greatest. In addition he had a good team including Marcus Allen which further reduced his playing time. He would be nowhere near Walter or even Barry. And I hope you’re joking
@@bobbuilder8210 You can't say that. Maybe, maybe not. That's what separates the all time greatest. They were obsessed with being the best and they never got injured. Jim Brown and Emmitt Smith and many others say Walter was the best ever
Damn Walter Payton was "The beast". This guy played in a era where the defense didn't care and smacked into anything coming their way. I saw in one clip he jumped over the oline into the endzone for a TD but he landed on his neck 😥. Greatest runner back of all time. His toughness is unmatched this guy took some of the nastiest hits I've ever seen. I would have been on life support from one of those hits damn😲. R.I.P Walter "Sweetness" Payton.
The greatest football player of all time. He could run around you, run through you, run over you... He could catch, pass, kick (FG's), punt, block, and was a genuine leader and an inspiration to people on his team, in the stands, on the street, and in his home. The man was larger than life. God bless Walter Payton and our Chicago Bears!
I agree Sweetness was like no other when it comes to heart...he maximized his talent....he could do it all on the football field....he may have been one of the strongest players pound for pound in NFL history ...his Popeye lie forearms would stifle defenders.
*The greatest football player of all time* This! This I can definitely get on board for. Greatest running back? I think that goes to Barry Sanders. (And I say that as someone who's favorite *athlete* ever is Payton and is a Bears fan to this day because of him). But with all due respect to Xavier about LT, I think Walter contributed so many others things to the game other than running back: blocking, receiving, blocking, blocking! And filling in as QB when necessary. I don't know of he ever did, but I have no doubt he could play linebacker if a spot was needed! And as for running, he made you pay for every tackle. No running out of bounds. Sometimes even giving up the open field so he could hit someone! You knew you were going to be in a game when you played against Walter Payton. His off field conditioning was second to none, all in preparation for Sunday (or Monday. Or Thursday. Or Saturday. NFL programming has changed!) Check out 2:47. The way he effortlessly runs up that hill doesn't convey how incredibly hard that is and how unbelievably strong his legs are. That was for the game! And as an ambassador for the NFL....well.....there's a reason there's now an award handed out in his name. Yeah, teams had to change their game plans because of Lawrence Taylor. I get that. But for me, Payton is the Greatest Football Player Of All Time.
I'm nearly in tears. Walter and Barry will always be my favorite running backs. I've always looked up to them ,and the way they played football. 😢👏🏈r.i.p 10/10
Walter wasn't only the greatest running back of all time but he is also the greatest football player of all time. I grew up watching him and I cried like a baby when he died, sweetness will always be the greatest!!!!!
I'll never forget the Day #34 passed I cried my Eyes out . It was very Sad here in Chicago. The Best Running back and Football player of all time WALTER PAYTON !!! RIP 😭 IM A CHICAGO BEARS FAN FOR LIFE !!! BEAR DOWN !
To me, Walter Payton was the greatest football player of all time. Not just running back. He ran, he tackled, he blocked, he protected his quarterback, he passed, he caught and he looked good doing it all. But the thing I remember most was; anytime a player tackled Sweetness alone, that player got hurt. He was a man's man. Tough as nails. Hard hitting as a freight train.
We lost you 20 years ago today. I'll never forget that hall of fame induction. You were my idol growing up. I was destroyed the day you passed. RIP Sweetness you were truly an amazing man
I'm watching this with tears in my eyes. I was a young man when Walter Payton played his 13 years in the NFL. There was never anybody like him before or since. He never, ever gave up on a play until he was down on the turf - and sometimes even when you thought he was down he'd suddenly pop up, shake off would-be tacklers and get more yards than you ever expected. In my humble opinion he exemplifies the best of athletic endeavor and is a special example to us all, in sports or no.
Plz do not make fun of his death he means alot to me when i was playing football at little leuage i wanted to be a running back and walter ispired me he was what motavated me and im a bears fan si yeah
Respect the game and the game will respect you, RIP WALTER!! You will always be the best! Never will be any better because you set the bar so damn high, WALTER PAYTON!!
That conference about him dying is the most heartbreaking thing I've seen, he didn't want to die 😥 😫. Walter Payton is my favorite player of all time hands down, no-one was more complete than him. If only I could go back in time and see him play
My fuggin WHAA??? I watched that conference, I saw him play, met him in person and even got his autograph. Best all around running back ever, hands down. Glad I was able to meet you Walter. Look forward to seeing you again one day.
There aren't enough ways to say all of who Walter Payton was and is. One of a kind in every way. I never met him, but I'm glad I knew him. His memory will live on till the end of time. His greatness will never be equaled.
I Remember that day when he passed away I was in the hospital waiting for my wife to give birth to our son who was born in 1999 November 1 at 12:06 as I walked out to the waiting room looked at the TV and saw the news that Walter Payton has passed away and 1999 November 1 at noon I think I cried harder watching that then watching my wife gave birth to our second son....😢🇺🇸..
Never will see a running back like him again.He stands all alone at the top of the mountain..He did it all with the worse offense line in NFL.Thanks for the memories.
I met Walter in Cleveland when he brought his racing team to town. I had a pass to visit the area where the teams stayed in their huge motor homes. 7:30 AM on Saturday morning i went directly to Walters mobile home and asked for him but he was eating breakfast. So I continued walking. I walked 50-75 away when one of Walters men came and got me and said Walter wanted me to come back, i was excited and shocked. Walter came out of the mobile home, chewing his food, shook my hand, took a picture with me, and talked football for 10-15 minutes. He was a class act, a humble man. RIP Walter.
Walter you were better than Bo, you were better than Emmit, you were better than Barry. and anyone who talks smack about you does not know football. your the best RB to ever play football
HAIL STATE idk he's one of the greatest RB's tied with Barry I'm saying this because Barry saved a dying team Peyton had one of the greatest teams ever my opinion
20 years ago this week. He's the reason I love football and the reason I'm a Bears fan. Always my inspiration. Never give up, never give in, never die easy. R.I.P. Wally. x
Gone too soon R.I.P. Walter the world misses you but you live in our hearts and minds. One of a kind person and such a unique personality and mindset. He was a phenomenal player but a transcendent person. how many NFL running backs can say they only missed one game I'll wait.
A complete football PLAYER. All phases. Could throw, block, kick. Had HUGE heart. Quick,strong,smart,humble but PROUD. I’m glad I was alive to watch him play.
People will tell you that he was small but 202 lbs was a solid size for the time he was in. Rarely would you meet 300+ lbs players on the field. Peyton was a god damn battering ram.
This was what a football player was meant to be, humble, ferocious, God like, a great teammate! When Jim Brown, calls you the greatest running back of all time, there no need to question who's better!!
Sweetness was such an odd name for a player who personified what Chicago football, BEARS football is all about... Tough, gritty, smash-mouth, take no prisoners football. Thing is, as much of a beast he was and as relentless as he was on the field .... he was a genuinely sweet, caring man who did a lot for people.
Breaks my heart every time i rewatch this😢😢 Jim brown says it best... He deserved atleast one td during the Superbowl. Long live the nickname sweetness 🤙
So happy I got to watch this man compete. He was a true warrior. I loved that he never scooter out of bounds to avoid a hit. He delivered hits. I have never seen a better all around running back. His passing, receiving and blocking skills all get overlooked. But Hell when u can run like he could I see why. Rest In Peace Champ!
Every once in a while in a lifetime, a truly great and magnificent experience will come along. Being privileged to witness it and remember what you've seen, word of mouth and mere stories don't do it justice. That man was a shooting star, gone but will never be forgotten. PERIOD!
It didn't matter if you were a safety or a lineman, Walter would carry you on his back into the end zone. He was fluidity and he disintegrated defenses. One of the great pleasures was to watch this guy play decades ago. He could not be stopped.
Walter once bet a man to find a play where he ran out of bounds in stead of taking a hit. This man is the best NFL player of all time let alone running back, I wish I got to watch him play #RIPSweetness
I'm a bears fan I don't care that you say that waltor Payton sucks he is beast he is the most best running back in the NFL history he will be reambered as Bears player forver rip waltory Payton bears fan for life
I agree with every sentiment in this video and in the comments. If I was a GM and could start a franchise with any player in NFL history, I'd take Walter Payton #1. Greatest all around player to ever play.
R.I.P. Walter Payton, I am a junior star (In my divisions locally) football player, and Walter Payton is also may favorite football player of all time, I want to avenge Walter against anyone who disliked him, and I hope I get to the NFL, most because of him.
No player to ever wear the uniform in NFL history, had the combination of heart, strength, moves, longevity and skills that Walter brought to the field every Sunday! At only 5'10 205lbs, he ran with the power of an Earl Campbell, the moves of a Barry Sanders, the blocking of a great fullback, and receiving skills of a Marshall Faulk, all in one individual! Held the ball like a loaf of bread, would studder step in the open field and NEVER RAN OUT OF BOUNDS (like Franco Harris)Plus, never missed games! I had the privilege to watch this once in a lifetime player every single Sunday during his career, and can tell you there will never be another like him! Man, was I lucky to witness his incredible achievements, sadly missed, R I P GOAT!!!!! #34
My nephew, Michael, died due to a car accident. He donated his organs. Walter Payton was supposed to receive his liver and refused it so a kid on the donor list could get it before him. Our whole family amazed by his selflessness. God bless his family.
I hope you will excuse me, this is the internet after all, but _if_ this is true, it's because a liver transplant would have made no difference to Payton since the cancer had progressed to his ducts; a condition that is inoperable and a transplant would be no help. And for context; I consider Walter Payton the greatest athlete I have ever known.
@@timshea4279 Yes, it's true. From what I remember, he deferred to some kid that was next on the list. You are probably correct about the progression though. It just proves his integrity as a man in doing it.
I loved watching this man play the game, in one of his interviews he said he use to run uphill to develop his leg strength, I was playing a lot of football at the time so I incorporated this into my training routine, my leg size and strength grew beyond my expectations, I know you’re resting In Paradise Sweetness 🙏🏾
Being a giant cowboys fan I'd usually argue that Emmit Smith is the greatest running back of all time. But instead imma always argue Walter Payton is the best and will always be the best.
His 1977 mvp season is widely regarded as the greatest season a running back ever had playing with qbs like Vince Evans and Bob avellina are you kidding me one word sweetness
Having met Walter a handful of times. He was a far better man than football player. The world is lesser with him gone. God bless his family, and godspeed Walter.
"Give me the heart of Walter Payton, there has never been a greater heart."
What a quote by Jim Brown.
Get this man a statue Chicago. And make it 50 feet tall.
Im wondering why haven't we? 🤔🤔
More like 100
I second this
He Doesn’t need one!!! But if they did make one it wood not be big enough!
Even then IT wouldn't be big enough
Not only was he a great player but he was a great human being
RIP Sweetness
Marrow my uncle met him and he wouldn’t look at him because he was white he was a racist
Maximus Bray Stop lying to yourself with that fake ass story.
@@maximusbray2326 to be fair he probably had negative experience with whites
Maximus Bray I bet you $100000 that never happened
That's my cousin
Emmitt Smith does have the rushing record, but even Emmitt said that Sweetness is the greatest running back of all time.
Colin Grimm Lmao Emmitt was many times better than Bo
Dude Bo Jackson would of been the greatest if he didn’t get injured

I can't even get mad when he breaks 3 tackles in a single play in a game of Madden vs me since he did that in real life. Damn!
I just died looking at this because it's true😂
Matt Centeno he breaks 7 tackles in 1 play lmao 😂

As a kid in the late 80s/90s, as a 5th grader growing up in Dallas....I did a huge presentation on Sweetness. Greatest ever.
I saw Walter run in '86. It was an unbelievable honor to be in the stadium with Walter on the field.

I loved watching this man play the game, in one of his interviews he said he use to run uphill to develop his leg strength, I was playing a lot of football at the time so I incorporated this into my training routine, my leg size and strength grew beyond my expectations, I know you’re resting In Paradise Sweetness 🙏🏾
Being a giant cowboys fan I'd usually argue that Emmit Smith is the greatest running back of all time. But instead imma always argue Walter Payton is the best and will always be the best.
There's a reason the NFL man of the year award is named after him. On and off the field he was a pinnacle of humanity.
Sweetness equals Greatness
His 1977 mvp season is widely regarded as the greatest season a running back ever had playing with qbs like Vince Evans and Bob avellina are you kidding me one word sweetness
2:20 makes me smile every time. What a ball player
Having met Walter a handful of times. He was a far better man than football player. The world is lesser with him gone. God bless his family, and godspeed Walter.
