I loved Arkansas and I loved the program and I loved the people there. I love my state. I always wanted to stay loyal to my state.
Peyton Hillis
I like the Albino Rhino. That was kind of cool. Of all the other nicknames people give out, I thought it was really unique.
In Denver, they just wanted me to play strictly fullback, nothing else. I wasn't too happy about the situation, but I was trying to be a team player.
Actually, I don't even believe in curses.
Cleveland fans are great. They really do support their team, and they back them up no matter what.
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 think players are disciplined enough to work out on their own.
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.
It's really sad how many people believe in curses.
I feel like I've been doing what I need to be doing to make me better at the game.
I've always said of myself I can do mostly anything if I put my mind to it.
I pretty much keep my mouth quiet and go about my business.
In my career, I've found that anything can happen.
I want people to see that I'm not a one-hit wonder.
I never one time mentioned anything to any coach about retirement or joining the CIA or anything like that.
It's very humbling to move around from team to team. It shows how fast you can be out of the loop.
You can love something too much, you can spend too much time with something - that's when you've got to learn how to balance.
Some people spend too much time with their job, not enough with their family. You've got to balance things out.
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 am just here to serve God's will.
Whatever it takes to get on the field and get that starting spot to get the carries. I've always worked hard.
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 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.
You've got to go out there and play your best. It's about what you do on the football field.
I never was a guy who wanted to be in the limelight.
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.
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.
Perception is reality. People take what they want to from things.
I'm doing yoga, MMA and things like that. I'm an unorthodox player, so I have to do things that fit my kind of game.
My football idol growing up, I was named after Walter Payton, but my idols at RB were Barry Sanders and Emmitt Smith.
The Cleveland Browns fans really are the greatest fans.
I guess when you get paid over 100 million dollars by one team, it's kind of easy to point the finger at other guys and try to hate on them for trying to get another contract.
I think when coaches look at me, they don't see a prototypical running back.
I'm 250 pounds, I'm not really fast.
I went through a couple of years there just mad at the world. I put my faith in the world and the world let me down. And I should have known that. The world's always going to let you down. Put your faith in God.
I really enjoyed my time in Cleveland.
I just try to do the best I can.
Everybody's going to play in tough-weather games - snow, rain, sleet - but you've got to hold onto the football.
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.
I've been very blessed.
I'm a guy who is going to go out there and do his best, and I'm a guy who has always gone out there and proved people wrong.
I like to look at it as things and people and whole society in general being uneducated about facts. There are a lot of stereotypes. But I don't see color, I don't see race.
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.
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 like a good challenge, and I'm always up for anything.
I always find competition in each and every thing I do, and it will bring competition - no doubt about it.
Not only do you have 16 regular-season games, you also have four preseason games. Then if you make the playoffs, you can have four more games before you get to the Super Bowl. So you can already have 24 games without the 18-game season. And 24 games takes a real toll on somebody's body.
I really enjoyed my time playing in a Browns uniform.
I have an open mind and I'm willing to do whatever.
Whenever you're having a down year, it's always tough, especially when you expect a lot from yourself.
