Peyton Hillis

“I feel I play hard every time I step on the field.”

“There's no such thing as accidents.”

“The Cleveland Browns fans really are the greatest fans.”

“I was always pretty much the biggest running back on the field at any given time.”

“As a kid, you'd look at all these guys in the NFL and almost idolize them.”

“I didn't notice pain in the way that most guys would.”

“I pretty much keep my mouth quiet and go about my business.”

“It's very humbling to move around from team to team. It shows how fast you can be out of the loop.”

“Actually, I don't even believe in curses.”

“I read Psalms 18 before every game.”

“It's really sad how many people believe in curses.”

“Some people spend too much time with their job, not enough with their family. You've got to balance things out.”

“Football in general is just fun.”

“Every team did it. They'll say, 'You white boy, you ain't gonna run on us today. This is ridiculous. Why are you giving offensive linemen the ball?' All kinds of stuff like that you hear on the field, but I use that to my advantage. I kind of soaked it in, ate it up a little bit, because I enjoyed it.”

“You never can stay enough humbled.”

“I'm not a little, shifty guy who likes to make moves. I like to be a straight-line guy, run over somebody if I can.”

“One thing I have figured out: People don't like different. People don't like to see anything different. When you see something different, you are either scared or afraid or you feel threatened. And I feel that the way I play the game, it feels like I should have played 50 years ago. But it's what I do.”

“QB's have it good. They don't take any hits. They have the most pay. The most glamour.”

“I'm not a showy kind of player.”

“There is a lot to do in Cleveland. It's just those December, January, February months that are tough. But there is a lot to do there.”
