The Chicago Bears Twitter account celebrated “Sweetness Day” today in honor of one of the greatest football players of all-time, Walter Payton.

Payton played for 13 years in Chicago and is widely considered to be the best running back who has ever played the game. He retired as the career leader in rushing yards (16,726), touchdowns (110), rushing attempts (3,838), yards from scrimmage (21,264) and all-purpose yards (21,803).

Payton died on November 1, 1999 due to complications related to a rare liver disease.

The Bears dubbed today Sweetness Day in honor of his signature No. 34. Here is a collection of tweets that were shared in his honor:

Payton played in 9 Pro Bowls, loved his head sweatbands, & always removed the in-soles of his cleats. 🤔#SweetnessDay pic.twitter.com/HHniYUF3tR — Chicago Bears (@ChicagoBears) March 4, 2016
