Walter Payton, nicknamed "Sweetness, " is 2nd on the NFL's All time rushing list. His playing career lasted from 1975 to 1987. In those years, he
amassed 16,026 rushing yards. He made a few appearances on television
(as a guest star), but he was known as a profoundly personal man.
Was not allowed to play football until his junior year of high school.
Before death, he was a spokesperson for organ donation, even though an
organ donation could have done nothing at that time to save his life.
When brother Eddie Payton (who also played in the NFL) was asked how it felt to be the brother of a star, he replied, "I don't know. You better go
ask Walter!".
