Jarrett Payton: Dad always had my backÂ
Note: The following is an excerpt from the book PAYTON, released last year by Rugged Land and NFL Publishing. PAYTON is available in bookstores. Â
Walter Payton is probably my favorite football player of all time. He was not only awesome on the football field, but he was one exceptional classy individual, and I appreciated reading things from his son’s point of view.  Since my father is gone,  and I remember watching Payton’s games with my father (also named Walter), this was a nice nostalgic read.
