Meet the NFL's Most BIZARRE One Year Wonder

Madden 12's cover athlete, Peyton Hillis had a strange career. Went from a fullback, to star runningback, to out of the league in the matter of 5 years. He will forever be a one year wonder.

Curious, why were his kids drowning? Were they being watched? What are the specifics…

[@carloalberto4132]

can't blame him for wanting to get paid since teams cut you with no remorse

[@DEIONCARTER21]

he cant get paid after one flunk season.. for one your playing for Cleveland who always has a last place schedule. most teams look pass you cause yall suck so bad every year.

[@carloalberto4132]

1. i'm not a cleveland browns fan 2. players hold out and get paid I think holding out is rarely not a mistake since it hurts the team and the player holding out (rust) but you have a small window of getting paid so i can't blame him for trying.

[@hotforteacher7540]

should have played out his contract that way you have leverage.

[@AK-74K]

You should be looking out for yourself, but you gotta be smart about it. If you just had one good season and then act like a diva next year and not show maximum effort on the field, that isn't a good way to maximise your earnings, it's a career killer.

[@spritzerak4u89]

Seisman 75 + He would have no leverage. The will run run run run him to the end of the contract and say his shelf life is up, or he goes out and gets some sort of injury. Running backs don't have the luxury pretty much every other position has because for the most part they have shorter careers. That season was all the leverage he had to open up extension talks.

[@TotallyTheExpert]

Fast forward today and he has a new moniker: hero. He bravely saved his kids from drowning and is now in critical condition.

[@joemiles8805]

At Arkansas he had the best hands on the team. In 3rd and 4th and long situations he was the go-to receiver. I never understood why team didn't use his receiving ability more. I thought he would have flourished with the Patriots because they love a fullback or third-down back who can get the tough yards and catch the ball.

[@spydergs07]

When there are guys sitting on the bench on teams getting paid twice what Hillis was and he was literally carrying his team everywhere. Yeah I can't blame him for protesting his team. The Browns didn't get him on the cover, he got himself on the cover.

[@dancrews7769]

He signed the contract, didn't he?

[@ThisIsSolution]

Bullshit i voted 500 times for him, literally... browns fans pulled through big time

[@JDeppFan2272]

Thing is, he signed a contract. He got paid what the Browns and the league thought he was worth. Just because he was outperforming his contract, doesn't give him the right to protest against the team that decided to take a chance on him. You are seeing it more and more with young guys, guys coming off "rookie" contracts, complaining and "holding out" cause they feel they are worth more. Like Aaron Donald of the Rams, sitting out the last two preseasons cause he was still on his rookie contract. I get it... you deserve more, and I agree with you... but BE A MAN and show up for work.

[@eddieflynn3889]

Other than Backup Quarterbacks, nobody on an active NFL roster sits the bench. All the backup receivers, dbs, linebackers, and running backs are used extensively on kickoffs and punts which are the most dangerous plays that create the biggest collisions.

[@dancrews7769]

I agree 100%

[@robertbragg9364]

This was one of the biggest mistakes the Browns had made up that point. They were giving bumbs top pay and when we finally got someone that was changing the momentum for Cleveland, they shit the bed and didn't pay the man. He was definitely a sight to see for the fans in Cleveland. The true fans appreciate what he did and understand why it ended the way it did. We Thank him for his effort and in 2021 we're finally a respectable football team. Good thing it didn't take too long!!!! Great video BTW.

[@Jmatt455]

Absolutely ! 63 yr. old Browns fan here. I remember thinking and saying the same thing when it was happening. I was really pissed off at the Browns. After paying top dollar to guys like Andre Rison & Braylon Edwards, who didn't live up to expectations, why would you treat Peyton Hillis like that? He kept his mouth shut, worked his ass off, put up the numbers, and made games exciting again. Sad to say, this isn't the only instance where the Browns treated their best players poorly.

[@cairnserelli72]

I fell the feels bro. Have been a Browns fan since the '86 AFC Championship Game. What this man did to the fans...it was amazing. Watching him week after week (had him on my fantasy team that year as well. Won the Championship!!) just destroy people was one of the best feelings I have ever had as a Browns fan. I remember watching ESPN as they made their way thru the brackets thinking "There is no way in hell a Browns player will ever grace the cover of Madden. Then, he won....and that was the last we ever got from Cleveland's Peyton.... Still have the Madden with him on the cover, and will only ever replace it if we get another Brown on there.....one can dream!

Great video. Not sure if you did this already but a video of David Wilson would be interesting. Running back that spent like one year with the Giants👍🏻

[@MatataMcCleskey]

Humans can put their "nose to the grindstone" and work hard to make it to the top. Once he got on the cover of Madden, playing for the Browns, he realized this is the top of the mountain for him. He's not going to win a Superbowl with the Browns. Being on the cover of Madden is a big deal. Once humans reach their goals, or make it to the top, we tend to get complacent, lazy, content and satisfied. Nothing else to work towards. Once you're at the top anything less feels like the hard work is no longer worth it. A lot of people fall off because the hard work is no longer praised or noticed.

[@kyenroze8585]

the point is, he was the best player in that whole team that year and they refuse to pay that man the following year, why put your body at risk when you're getting paid way under what a running back market value was getting paid at the time.

Woojong with the Word it still wouldn't have mattered if he was at New England what ended his career was politics the NFL and NFL team owners are huge liberals Peyton Hillis was a true American Patriot he voted for Ron Paul and mentioned politics in live coverage after that his career started going down. That is because Dr Ron Paul is against the whole elitist system and the left didn't like it

[@thebirdman612]

lmfao what. Jerry jones the huge liberal ya... idiot

[@Chrisnuzzo76]

DOCSAFETUBE The Patriots owner is not liberal. He supports Trump and is known to even be considered friends with him. Tom Brady actually wore a MAGA hat once, unfortunately it pissed off the black players so he backed away and stopped involving himself in politics. He is a smart guy and doesn't invite anything that will distract the team.

[@larrylaurenzi1625]

Watching Hillis highlights from 2010 is still awesome and enjoyable. Also, it is a typical Browns story in it being so tragic and so weird and unusual. But reporting, getting paid, taking up an important position and then basically refusing to play has to be the worst negotiation tactic ever. If his agent had him do that he should sue him for malpractice, if that was his idea what a horrible thing to do to your teammates. Either hold out, or give it your all one more time and see if the franchise is willing pay you if not move on. But that half in half out is just self destructive because no one can support that, you are a pariah to everyone. Follow that catastrophe with 3 garbage season and then the entire league wants you gone. Wish I knew the real story about his agent’s actions that year. Just too stupid of a tactic with all downside.

[@williamford9564]

That WAS bazaar. I picked up Hillis off waivers early in the 2010 as a Bench "Wait and See" player for one of my Fantasy Football teams. Somewhere midway through the season, I began starting him and he helped lead me to the Fantasy League championship game. The following year he was on my Fantasy Draft radar somewhere in the 2nd or 3rd round I think but someone else grabbed him early. I was kind of kicking myself, but he turned out to be bust for the guy who drafted him!

As a Razorback fan, I can say that Hillis was only a fullback because we had McFadden and Jones for most of his career. He would have been a stud number 1 back in college, and made plenty of amazing plays while still playing his role as fullback

[@pat02537]

People voted for him because they didn't want Vick

[@garynurse162]

@@dakari2027 Cause of his Achievements he did that year in Philly. That didn't matter though because "dog fighting sting operation" overshadowed that and is one of the reasons why people didn't pull for him all the way through. Plus Peyton Hillis low-key did tear up the field that year.

[@Buddyd_WrestleManPodcast]

Well Vick has already been on the cover so he didn't need to again. Plus back then Peyton Hillis was the future. And Madden covers r usually for the future guys.

[@lelouchvibritannia4028]

Christopher Palmer Like how the Pats keep winning...

[@tripleoo0]

Mostly true, Chris. Certain teams will maintain their places at the top and bottom, but the rest of the league is generally mired in sort of a soup. Every year, a few teams get a couple lucky bounces, a handful of favorable calls, and better health, while others suffer in all these regards. This year, the Giants, Colts, and Seahawks pulled the short straws, while the Eagles, Rams, and Jaguars pulled longer ones. Pundits will talk about how "this team is for real" and such, but at the end of the day, all these breakout players are looking for money, usually from a team looking for a few more pieces for a playoff run.

[@muddobber6863]

The Browns have a terrible owner. Maybe if they throw Haslem in jail where he belongs and he's forced to sell the team they'll find a way to be good again.

[@michaelestep4066]

As a Titans fan i can say. Not until the upper management/owner changes. we made the playoffs this year for the first time in 10 years... ( barely, but ill take it) and have a bright future at least with Mariota and D.Henry. That all started with new ownership and a Gm who wasnt braindead. Hopefully the browns come around soon as im sick of the Pats/ steelers/ Colts (who are kinda dead now without luck/Manning) running the afc.
