Walter Payton is remembered as one of the most prolific running backs in the history of the NFL but his impact in Chicago on the NFL and the nation goes far beyond a compilation of rushing statistics or records. A nine-time Pro Bowler he once held the league's record for most career rushing yards touchdowns carries yards from scrimmage all-purpose yards and many other categories. He was elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1993. Hall of Fame NFL player and coach Mike Ditka described Payton as the greatest football player he had ever seenbut even greater as a human being.
This outstanding Wilson manufactured white mesh pullover garment was worn by Bears legend in the mid-1980s. Game photos seem to indicate this jersey was worn in either 1985 or '86. Moderate to heavy game use is evident with scattered soiling and some team repairs. Midnight navy blue-on-orange overlay numerals Payton's since-retired No. "34" is appliqud to the front back and sleeves and "PAYTON" is heat pressed to a name plate atop the back number in like fashion. Orange and blue stripes line the sleeves and the George Halas memorial appliqu appears on the left sleeve (as GSH). Situated on the left front tail a "Wilson" label denotes size "44." Payton has signed the back number 4 in very strong 8-9/10 black felt tip pen "Walter Payton". This Payton gamer is a remarkable treasure from one of the National Football Leagues most prolific running backs.
