January 20, 201511 yr Who is the one player that you wish you could go back and watch that you never got to see play because their career was before your time? I'd absolutely love to be able to go back and watch Walter Payton. Growing up, I'd always watch him on NFL Films and things like that and I was just always drawn to him. I'm reading his autobiography right now. I just love the way he took pride in hitting the defender, instead of letting them hit him.

In Payton's autobiography, they quote Jim Brown quite a bit in one section and how if anyone was going to break his record, he was glad it was Walter Payton. Of course it's Payton's book, but they made it seem like Jim Brown was very glad that it wasn't Franco Harris.
