A biography for Peyton Hillishasn’t been written yet.
“I never one time mentioned anything to any coach about retirement or joining the CIA or anything like that.”
“You've got to go out there and play your best. It's about what you do on the football field.”
“I'm just trying to go out and do what I can to help the team win.”
“I kind of like to think I can do everything decently well. It's just putting me in position to be a playmaker, blocking, special teams, no matter what it may be. Whenever I go out there, I'm going to do my best.”
“Everybody's going to play in tough-weather games - snow, rain, sleet - but you've got to hold onto the football.”
“I like a good challenge, and I'm always up for anything.”
“I'll carry a ball around with me all day and ask people to try to knock it out of my hand when I least expect it. I'll give them some money and stuff, so people get pretty geeked up about that. It just helps me to take care of the ball without even thinking about it.”
“I have an open mind and I'm willing to do whatever.”
“A guy like me, it's probably pretty hard for somebody to pinpoint what position to have me do, where to put me all the time.”
“My football idol growing up, I was named after Walter Payton, but my idols at RB were Barry Sanders and Emmitt Smith.”
“I firmly believe I never had too much of an opportunity after I left Cleveland. I was behind Jamaal Charles at Kansas City. I didn't get too much playing time. I felt when I got in I did well. And then I was in Tampa and never really got to touch the field because of Doug Martin. He's pretty good.”
“Whatever it takes to get on the field and get that starting spot to get the carries. I've always worked hard.”
“I didn't run the ball very much in college. I sat out most of the time and played a little slot receiver, a little tight end, a little fullback but that's pretty much about it.”
“I want people to see that I'm not a one-hit wonder.”
“I've always said of myself I can do mostly anything if I put my mind to it.”
“I'm a Christian man, and I don't believe anything could be put in front of me that God can't take away.”
“I always find competition in each and every thing I do, and it will bring competition - no doubt about it.”
“Everybody's going to have troubles and problems.”
“I am stubborn and I am hardheaded.”
“No one in a normal walk of life flies into a new city unknown and unemployed and ends up doing their job on national television a few days later. I love the game, but it's crazy sometimes.”
