WGN Sports anchor Jarrett Payton tells Rich what it was like growing up Walter Payton’s son with his dad hanging out with the likes of Michael Jordan, Tom Cruise and Magic Johnson, reflects on his father’s lasting legacy and how his character was even greater than his play on the field, and says why it’s way too soon for pundits to criticize 2nd-year Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields. 

Rich reveals his top 5 list of ‘You Never Know NFL Coach of the Year’ candidates including the Chicago Bears’ Matt Eberflus, the Seahawks’ Pete Carroll, the Vikings’ Kevin O’Connell, the Steelers’ Mike Tomlin, and the Giants’ Brian Daboll.
