I didn't notice pain in the way that most guys would.
— Peyton Hillis
I was always pretty much the biggest running back on the field at any given time.
I'm a human being just like everybody else.
I really enjoyed my time playing in a Browns uniform.
I never one time mentioned anything to any coach about retirement or joining the CIA or anything like that.
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'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.
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'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 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 really enjoyed my time in Cleveland.
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 never was a guy who wanted to be in the limelight.
I like the Albino Rhino. That was kind of cool. Of all the other nicknames people give out, I thought it was really unique.
Whenever you're having a down year, it's always tough, especially when you expect a lot from yourself.
I feel like I've been doing what I need to be doing to make me better at the game.
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 always find competition in each and every thing I do, and it will bring competition - no doubt about it.
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.
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've been very blessed.
Everybody's going to play in tough-weather games - snow, rain, sleet - but you've got to hold onto the football.
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.
I'm 250 pounds, I'm not really fast.
As a kid, you'd look at all these guys in the NFL and almost idolize them.
When you walk around Cleveland, the fans are starving for a winner and a successful team, and you saw how upset they were when LeBron left. You just want to win it for them.
I have an open mind and I'm willing to do whatever.
I pretty much keep my mouth quiet and go about my business.
I think players are disciplined enough to work out on their own.
I like a good challenge, and I'm always up for anything.
Whatever it takes to get on the field and get that starting spot to get the carries. I've always worked hard.
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.
I've always said of myself I can do mostly anything if I put my mind to it.
I just try to do the best I can.
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 think when coaches look at me, they don't see a prototypical running back.
