VIDEO: Walter Payton runs the wildcat offense (1984)
Props to the guys at Tremendous Upside Potential for uncovering this gem from the mid-80s, featuring Bears Hall of Fame RB Walter Payton running a variation of the Wildcat offense, WAY before it was in fashion in the NFL. I’m not exactly sure what happened to Jim McMahon that forced Payton into action here, but Sweetness is fairly effective here, leading the offense to about midfield before heaving a bomb downfield that gets picked off by the Packers (effectively a punt).
Man, that guy was the best.
