    just a more experianced Toby Gerhart

    just 81 Carries since 2008 so still has alot of tred left

    played WR/TE/FB/KR and RB at Arkansas

    6'1 245 4.55 40 4.24 20 yd Shuttle 30 rep at 225 28 inch vert

    http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/...yers/12375.html

    BIOGRAPHY: Three-year starter who totaled 62/347/2 on the ground last season when he led Arkansas in receiving with 49/537/5. Junior-year totals included pass-catching numbers of 19/159. Has lined up at both fullback and tailback. Used to return punts the past three seasons.

    POSITIVES: Athletic lead blocker who.s also been productive handling the ball. Plays with a good degree of quickness, shows good vision, and fast enough to turn the corner and create space for the ball-carrier. Works hard, seals opponents from the action, and chips defenders to open lanes for running backs. Effective receiver who adjusts to the errant throw and makes the reception in stride. Possesses the speed to be a downfield pass-catching threat. Instinctive, immediately picks up blitzes, and stays with assignments.

    NEGATIVES: Marginally strong at the point, gathers into blocks, and rarely finishes off defenders. Does a lot of unnecessary cut-blocking. Lacks top ball-carrying skills.

    ANALYSIS: Hillis is an oversized running back who lacks the pure strength to be a lead blocker. His pass-catching skills and athleticism are best suited for a west coast offense.

    http://www.fftoolbox.com/nfl_draft/profile...rospect_id=1376

    When you're in the same backfield with Darren McFadden and Felix Jones, it's easy to get overshadowed. But Hillis deserves a lot of the credit for the Razorbacks' dynamic tailbacks putting up such big numbers. He certainly helped open some running lanes. But, Hillis is more than a one-dimensional blocker. He rushed for 327 yards and two touchdowns on 57 carries and was even more effective in the passing game, hauling in a team-high 44 receptions for 485 yards and five TDs.

    Hillis is more athletic than most fullbacks, as well as faster. He runs a 4.55 in the 40-yard dash. He has tremendous receiving skills and understands the game. Scouts love his motor. His combination of speed and size makes him valuable in a number of roles, with him having the potential to be a force on special teams.

    Scouts question whether he has the bulk to be a true NFL fullback. He needs to become a better blocker. He hasn't shown the power to be a consistent short-yardage threat. While he has good speed, he isn't elusive. Some scouts wonder about his durability. He won't be suited for some schemes, but should fit in with a West Coast offense. He has the potential to contribute in several ways. He projects to be a mid-round selection in the NFL Draft.

      Being from Arkansas and watching Hillis through his entire college career, I love this pick up..Hillis has great hands, great size, and deceptive speed. He isnt a 4.4 guy or anything but get him in the open field and once he is moving, he keeps it going and is extremely hard to tackle.

      I hope we utilize him for what he is and not just a fullback. He can play RB just as well as anyone on our team and has probably a better reception threat than anyone coming out of the backfield.

        When you consider that Toby Gerhart is probably ? a second round pick, maybe? even a late first round?

        and you watch Hillis' highlight reel that somebody posted... wow.

        Nice trade, with some late round picks added. Hillis seems to be more agile and elusive to me, than scouts seem to give

        Toby credit for.

        Great, great pickup !

                  Vickers is a pretty darn good receiving Fullback as it is ... wonder what gives with two similar players?

                  Vickers was a monster at lead blocking last season. Will we see both Vickers & Hillis in the smae backfield? That could be scary.

                    Harrison will be the starter, but Hillis is the PERFECT compliment to Harrison. Harrison is quick and shifty and a home run threat, and Hillis is a 240-lb. ramrod who can pound the ball on short yardage and run downhill when we need to eat clock.

                                    Or maybe you are just another troll with no life.

                                      Where do I start with this comment? Dude you are the officially the Retard of the board. Just go back and look at your posts. I am having a laugh at your Wimbley posts right now. People don't even need to comment back to you to be funny, you do it all yourself. Like a Retard trying to wipe his ass. LOL.

                                          Hmm... says the guy who can't even refer to the correct person... I will spell it out for you...

                                          There is nobody in the NFL named Payton Hillis.

                                          Peyton Hillis maybe, but not Payton Hillis.
