I saw a Documentary on Dupree, weird how he never became a great back in the nfl.

Payton is my all time favorite player, I watched damm nearly every game he ever played for the Bears and some in person at Soldiers Field.

I don’t think there was ever a tougher guy to play in the nfl or anyone with that big of heart. He’d bring a dimension today nobody has. You never see a RB today put his head down about two feet off the ground and just punish the defender. Hard to believe the guy was only 202 pounds.
