Rodeo rider and running back for the Cowboys, the good ole days, probably never be another one like him.

He even did some commercials endorsing Skoal chewing tobacco, which showed him competing in Rodeo.
Definitely one of kind.

He and Earl Campbell, those dudes are both Texas NFL legends, one of kind, and neither will likely ever be seen again

He was quite the man.

He was a running fullback which gave Dallas just that much more in an already potent line-up.

It was heartbreaking to hear, but he lived a full life.

R.I.P. Walt

Thank you for so many memories.
