Happy Birthday to nine-time Pro Bowler, five-time All-Pro, 1977 NFL MVP and Super Bowl XX Champion Walter Payton!

"Sweetness," played all 13 of his NFL seasons with the Chicago Bears, leading the NFL in rushing attempts four times, while also leading the NFL in rushing yards (1,852) and touchdowns (14) in his MVP campaign. When he retired in 1987, Payton had racked up 16,726 total rushing yards with 110 career touchdowns to go with another 4,538 receiving yards and 15 more scores.

Which brings us to today's quiz. Along with his many other accolades, Payton was honored as the historic Maxwell Football Club's "Bert Bell," Player of the Year. With that being said, can you name every player to win the Bert Bell award given to the NFL's Player of the Year as recognized by the historic Maxwell Football Club since 1985?

Good luck!
