Peyton Hillis

My football idol growing up, I was named after Walter Payton, but my idols at RB were Barry Sanders and Emmitt Smith.

I had a tough career in college.

In my career, I've found that anything can happen.

As far as my athletic ability, I can pretty much do it all. You can put me at linebacker and I'll do a good job.

I always find competition in each and every thing I do, and it will bring competition - no doubt about it.

There are a lot of athletic trends that I don't have. I feel like I have a bigger heart and desire than most people do.

I want people to see that I'm not a one-hit wonder.

I believe that the Lord is going to take care of me. I know His will is the only way that can judge me or put me in my place.

Everybody's going to have troubles and problems.

Cleveland fans are great. They really do support their team, and they back them up no matter what.

I like a good challenge, and I'm always up for anything.

I think when coaches look at me, they don't see a prototypical running back.
