Walter Payton's place in the record book is safe!

I know, I know, records are made to be broken. However, it's still nice to see the players we loved still keep their places in the record books. Well, for all of you Walter Payton fans, you can sleep peacefully.

With Frank Gore retiring, this means that he will not pass Walter on the all-time rushing yards list. Here are the top 5:

1 Emmitt Smith 18,3552 Walter Payton 16,7263 Frank Gore 16,0004 Barry Sanders 15,2695 Adrian Peterson 14,918

As you can see, Gore was closing in on Payton during the end of his career. However, he won't have the chance to take the second spot...
