Walter Payton is widely regarded as one of the greatest football players of all time. He played running back for the Chicago Bears for 13 seasons, from 1975 to 1987, even winning a Super Bowl with them. However, despite his family-friendly persona, he had flaws in his marriage and romances, most of which were revealed after his death in 1999.
