No Chicago athlete was more beloved than Walter Payton.

His death 20 years ago shook Chicago, and led to one of the most emotional, stunning, Bears games ever.

This is the true story of Sweetness, Bryan Robinson, and The Block.

A Thread.

Walter Payton’s skillset was as vast as it was deep. Yet that is not what defined him as a football player. What defined him were his intangibles:

His heart, his will, his leadership, his toughness.

His spirit.
When the Bears drafted him in 1975, he boldly — and rightly — made this declaration:

“When I get through with Chicago, they’ll be loving me.”

It happened much sooner than that :)
