“PAYTON WAS INCREDBILE BETTER THEN SANDERS BETTER THAN ANY ONE BY THE WAY I WROTE THAT ONE TO LT THAT SAID WALTER PAYTON IS THE BEST”

“SWEETNESS!!! Walter Jerry Payton”

“"Sweetness", was incredible. He was the most versatile running back who walked on the field. He could run over defenders, at the same time scamper out of their way, and he had the best stiff arm in the business. As coach Mike Ditka once said, "Walter could play any position. " and he meant it. He block as well as any offensive lineman in the game, he hit harder than a ton of bricks, he could throw with as much touch as any quarterback in the game, and he could catch anything thrown at him. But, he most known for something he did in when the bears were about a yard out of the end zone. He would leap over all of his offensive and defensive linemen into the end zone. He truly displayed a never say die attitude.”

“Walter Payton I feel was the BEST back ever! Walter had a terrible Bears team for 9 years and still VERY productive. He had NO offensive line like Emmit Smith and was a asset at blocking which Jim Brown lacked. Walter was a all around great back and football player that could do it all!”

“The man can never be touched, he is simply the best, nothing more, just the best, Sanders has nothing on him, on or off the field.

“Walter Payton was the best running back of all time. He made you completely miss him and when you did get a hold of him, he could get rid of you in a hurry. This guy had a the biggest heart of any of these guys. I bet you will never hear anyone who knew him, say anything bad about him ever.”

“Walter Payton is the best running back ever”
