This is an incredibly thought-provoking and insightful book, delving into the life of one of the greatest men who ever lived. Yes, he was definitely one of the greatest NFL football players ever--a legend, to be sure--but even more than that, he was an amazing man in his private life as well. I encourage everyone to read this book, even if you are not a football fan. Walter Payton sets the example for a life we should all strive to live. He was humble, selfless, determined and strong. He was truly the embodiment of his nickname "Sweetness." (Did you know that when he was desperately in need of a new liver, they offered to "bump" his name to the top of the donor list because of who he was, but he refused because it was not fair to all the others who were on the list before him?) A true hero is gone from this earth, but his memory and legacy live on. We will never forget the amazing man who was "Sweetness."
