Walter Payton Jersey - Chicago Bears

 Walter Payton Jersey

Many strongly feel that Walter Payton was the greatest running back in NFL history, and Mike Ditka went as far to say that Walter Payton was was the "Greatest football player, regardless of the position to ever play the game."

Walter Payton was a fierce runner who never tip-toed out of bounds at the end of a play. Payton believed that it is better to smash head-on into the tackler, rather than surrender quietly out of bounds. Ending a play early simply wasn't the way he played the game. Walter was going to get that extra yards and he punished any defenders that stood in his way.

Walter Payton was also a tremendous blocker, and loved to throw the ball downfield when given the chance. How would Walter Payton perform if he was playing today? While lacking great runaway speed I think that Payton still would be one of the elite running backs in the NFL. Sheer guts and determination is what separates Walter from the rest of the field. A great quote from team mate Revie Sorey once said "Walter would jump off a bridge to see whether the water was too deep for the rest of us."
