Walter Jerry Payton was a running back for the Chicago Bears in the National Football League for 13 seasons. He was an American professional football player. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest football players of all time and is called Sweetness.
Is Walter Payton’s wife Connie Norwood still alive?
Connie Norwood was the wife of Walter Payton, an American professional football player who played running back for the National Football League’s Chicago Bears (NFL).
The athlete is recognized as one of the all-time great football players. Payton, a nine-time Pro Bowl selection, was a powerful rusher who set records for career rushing yards, and touchdowns.
The names of Connie Norwood’s children are Brittney Payton and Jarrett Payton. The Chicago Bears selected her and her partner, Walter Payton, fourth overall in the first round of the 1975 NFL Draft.
After the legendary Gale Sayers left the team in 1972, the Bears went through a string of losing seasons. Payton’s first game was a failure because he only managed eight carries with zero net rushing yards.
Where is Connie Norwood now?
The former Connie Norwood was more shy, growing up in New Orleans. As a high-school senior, while visiting relatives in Jackson.
Slim, pretty without glamor, she’s the girl next door in a 12,000-square-foot South Barrington house. She’s your unprepossessing carpool pal who happens to drive a Jaguar and wear diamond stud earrings the size of shirt buttons. She’s the woman sporting designer clothes and braces on her teeth.
At 31, she’s comfortably married to football’s greatest running back (and one of Chicago’s most enduring sex symbols), has two beautiful children – one of each – and a live-in maid to help tend them. She watches her Chicago Bear earn his phenomenal salary from a luxury skybox on Sunday afternoons.
Surely, there are those of you who’d love to hate this darling of circumstance. Forget it. There’s nothing to even dislike about Connie Payton.
