Was Walter the Forgotten Hero?
- Share via
Scott Ostler’s 1984 All-Hero Team was lacking one of the most heroic athletes of 1984. A certain Mr. Walter J. Payton. Remember him? He’s the running back who broke four major all-time NFL rushing marks (career attempts, yards, all-purpose yards, 100-yard games). If he doesn’t make the team, who does?
