Quote:There was a game in 1979 that the late Walter Payton had a passing,  rushing,  and receiving TD in Minnesota.   At that time, the Vikings still played outdoors at Metropolitan Stadium,  in Bloomington.    However, despite being effective returning kickoffs early in his career,  Payton was no longer returning kickoffs at that time.  There was never a more complete RB than Walter Payton.

 

Walter Payton was so much fun to watch. There were a lot of good running backs in the history of the league but it's hard to say he was more complete than Emmitt Smith, O.J. Simpson, Barry Sanders, Eric Dickerson, Tony Dorsett, Marcus Allen among others. They were all great.
