Walter Payton was ƒ??Sweetnessƒ?� in every way. From 1975 through 1987, he ran with a grace that disguised punishing power and tremendous toughness. He glided through defenses, the ever-present smile on his face making football seem almost elegant. ƒ??He was the best football player Iƒ??ve ever seen,ƒ?� said his longtime Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka. ƒ??And probably one of the best people Iƒ??ve ever met.ƒ?� In 1999, when Payton died at age 46 of a rare liver disease, professional football mourned an athlete who was as well-known for his kindness and compassion as he was his accomplishments on the fieldƒ??which is saying quite a lot. He retired as the all-time NFL rushing leader with 16,726 career yards. He had a Super Bowl ring (1985), an MVP award (1977), nine Pro Bowls and five All-Pro First Team honors. There is a very good reason why the name Walter Payton will always live on: There has never been a playerƒ??nor personƒ??more worthy of admiration than the one they called ƒ??Sweetness.ƒ?� This is his story.
