A few days ago I threw up a poll on the WCG Twitter account asking if Walter Payton is the greatest football player of all time. I prefaced it by reminding voters to take all aspects of the sport into consideration, but I knew the results would be overwhelmingly in favor of Sweetness. We are a Chicago Bears account after-all, so it was no surprise that over 70% of the vote went to the Bears’ all-time leader in rushing yards, receptions, and touchdowns, that also excelled as a blocker, that threw for 8 TD passes, returned kicks early in his career, and even ripped off a punt during his thirteen years in Chicago, Walter Jerry Payton.
The only argument you’ll ever need to show that Walter Payton is the G.O.A.T.
