Whether it was a teammate, coach or opponent, the response to seeing Walter Payton play football was always the same. Awesome. He was the greatest running back of his era in the National Football League and thought of by most as one of the greatest of all time. His time on earth was cut very short, passing away at just 45, as he was struck down by a rare disease that took true greatness from us.
