Widely regarded as one of the greatest football players
of all time, Walter Payton
net worth who
was an American professional football player who was a
running back for the Chicago Bears of the National
Football League (NFL). A nine-time Pro Bowl selectee,
Payton is remembered as a prolific rusher, once holding
records for career rushing yards, touchdowns, carries,
yards from scrimmage, all-purpose yards, and many other
categories. He was also versatile; he retired with the
most receptions by a non-receiver, and he had eight
career touchdown passes.
He was elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in
1993, the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame that same year,
and the College Football Hall of Fame in 1996. He was
named to the NFL 75th Anniversary All-Time Team in 1994
and the NFL 100th Anniversary All-Time Team in 2019. Hall

as the greatest football player he had ever seen—but even
greater as a human being.
Payton began his football career in Mississippi and went
on to have an outstanding collegiate football career at
Jackson State University, where he was an All-American.
He started his professional career with the Chicago Bears
in 1975, who selected him with the 1975 Draft's fourth
overall pick. Payton proceeded to win the 1977 AP NFL
Most Valuable Player Award and won Super Bowl XX with the
1985 Chicago Bears. He retired from football at the end
of the 1987 season having rushed for at least 1,200 yards
in 10 of his 13 seasons in the NFL (with two of those
three being lockout-shortened seasons).
After struggling with the rare liver disease primary
sclerosing cholangitis for several months, Payton died on
November 1, 1999 from cholangiocarcinoma at the age of
45. His legacy includes being the namesake of the Walter
Payton Man of the Year Award, Walter Payton Award, and a
heightened awareness of the need for organ donations.
