It's sad that Walter Payton was not known as the greatest running back to play the game until they won the Super Bowl.

Donovan McNabb

My mom tried to get me on ballet. 'Walter Payton did it! Walter Payton did it!' I'm just not messing with ballet.

Le'Veon Bell

Messi. 86 goals in calendar year and still 3 games to play! Best to ever play the game in my opinion just edges Maradona.

Joey Barton

Night Train Lane was the best defensive back to ever play the game. I tried to pattern my game after him because he was the best. He could have played any one of the four (secondary) positions. I've never seen a defensive back hit the way he hit - I mean take them down, whether it be Jim Taylor or Jim Brown.

Herb Adderley

I wanna be the greatest to ever play my position. One of the best to ever play the game. Hopefully, be a Hall of Famer.

There needs to be somebody that looks out for what's best for the game, not what's best for the Big 10 or what's best for the SEC or what's best for Jim Harbaugh, but what's best for the game of college football - the integrity of the game, the coaches, the players, and the people that play it.

Nick Saban

The best player I ever coached was Gary Payton.

George Karl

I am extremely flattered to be chosen the 2012 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year from such an esteemed group of nominees.

To be able to be mentioned with guys like Emmitt, Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, Curtis Martin and my man LaDainian Tomlinson, it's a blessing.

Frank Gore

Of all the awards given to NFL athletes, the Walter Payton Man of the Year is the one that stands out above the rest to me because of what it represents.
