Payton

THE BEST FOOTBALL PLAYER EVER, PERIOD.--Mike DitkaWalter Payton played running back with a devastating combination of grace and ferocity.

Walter Payton simply worked harder and with more purpose than any football player in history. And he did it with a smile.PAYTON captures the life of an on-field superstar who wanted most to be the consummate team player. He was a man who left everything on the field, always put family first and committed himself to giving back to the community. Sweetness indeed.Includes a DVD with NFL Films' "Pure Payton," a collection of extraordinary highlights of Walter Payton's football career.
