Although Peyton's talent was over-shadowed by that of Darren McFadden (1st round, 4th overall pick going to the Raiders) and Felix Jones (1st round, 22nd overall pick going to the Cowboys) both former Arkansas Razorbacks, he never once complained. Peyton was just happy to be playing football and helping his team in any way he could. Peyton Hillis is a selfless person willing to help anyone become the best they can be and he certainly did his share to help McFadden and Jones rack up their numbers while at Arkansas. Had the Razorbacks never known a Darren McFadden or a Felix Jones, you would have seen Peyton Hillis as the best back to ever wear an Arkansas uniform and he would have gone MUCH higher in the draft. Many NFL teams will regret not selecting Peyton Hillis!

I couldn't believe he lasted to the end of the 7th round. Although Hillis is not the kind of person to go out and brag about his talent, he will go out and show all the NFL teams who passed him up, just what they missed. It's true, the Bronco's got a steal in Hillis by getting him in the 7th! Peyton loves the Lord and Peyton loves football and as long as he never forgets God's blessings in his life, he will enjoy a long and fruitful career. YOU GO PEYTON AND GO BRONCO'S!

This guy is seriously underrated, due to the other two backs he played with. If either of them hadn't been there, Hillis would have been about a 5th round pick. Excellent value in the 7th!
