Q:

How did Walter Payton change the NFL?

I′ve been a huge football fan for years and have always admired the greats of the game. However, I′ve struggled to understand exactly how individual players have influenced the sport. For example, I know Walter Payton is considered one of the all-time greats, but I′m not sure what specific contributions he made to change the NFL. Can someone explain how Walter Payton′s career impacted football from a sports perspective?
