Conversation so far:
What is notable about Payton's playing style?
Payton refused to deliberately run out-of-bounds and always delivered some punishment to his tacklers before being forced off the field or forced down.
What else did he do?
One of Payton's signature maneuvers was the "stutter-step", a high-stepping, irregularly paced run.
Did he have any other moves?
He developed this as a way to distract his pursuers during long runs, saying that it startled them into thinking and gave him some advantage.

Question: What else is significant about his style?
