Payton’s football career was filled with accolades and achievements. He rushed for over 16,000 yards during his career, including a single-game record of 275 yards. Payton was selected to nine Pro Bowls, was the NFL MVP in 1977, and led the Bears to a Super Bowl victory in 1985. He retired in 1988 as the NFL’s all-time leading rusher. Payton was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1993, and his jersey number 34 was retired by the Bears in 2000.

Off the field, Payton was a philanthropist and humanitarian. He established the Walter Payton Foundation, which provides support and resources to underprivileged children and their families. Payton also battled liver cancer, which he ultimately succumbed to in 1999. Though his life was cut short, Payton’s legacy lives on, both as one of the greatest football players of all time and as a kind-hearted and generous spirit who gave back to his community.
