By Samantha Abernethy in Arts & Entertainment on Jul 25, 2012 10:40PM

Chicago Bears legend Walter Payton was born on this date in 1954. "Sweetness" played at running back with the Bears for 13 seasons, through many losing seasons and the 1985 triumph. Here is video of 30 touchdowns by Payton.

Here's a little about Payton's infamous hill that he used for training. Apparently it's now just part of a golf course.

If you want to spend 40 minutes with Payton today, here's a documentary for you to watch.
