Payton Sweetness #34 Navy PO Hoody

“Never die easy.” He was called Sweetness. Yet what Walter Payton did for Chicago on the football field often defied explanation. He was a presence in the moment, treating every season, every game, every rushing attempt, and every yard he gained as if his career depended on it. He treated the offseason as a grueling sentence to get better. He treated the record books like he was an author, signing his name under every major category. He treated his fellow man with kindness and understanding, helping those in need whenever he could. Sweetness wasn’t just a man. Sweetness is a movement. Officially licensed by Walter Payton.
