Hillis is just misunderstood. After being on the Madden cover, an honor in and of itself that very few can claim, he then set his sights on being on a Black Ops cover. He would be the only one to pull that off. Yes, Hillis is a true renaissance man.

if he landed on the black ops cover it would be the greatest achievement in browns history

Uh, I think several Browns players would like to talk to you. Jim Brown is first up.

Besides, how small to limit it to just Browns history. C'mon, this may be the greatest achievement in 21st century human history. We could be living and watching a true renaissance man in the Hillisbilly. Hell, after making the cover of Black Ops, he may quit the CIA and go PSU to continue their work on curing all forms of cancer. After that, he may even cure death.

Peyton Hillis Black Op cover > Entire existence of the NFL

Please do not even think about tagging this guy. I would tag Dawson:)
CLEVELAND, Ohio ? Browns coach Pat Shurmur said Thursday that running back Peyton Hillis never told him he was contemplating retiring -- or considering a career in the CIA.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that, according to a Browns source, Hillis told Browns coaches as recently as the end of the season that he was considering hanging it up and was pondering a CIA career during the season.

"Really? That's news to me," said Shurmur at the Greater Cleveland Auto Show at the International Exposition Center in Cleveland. "I'm one of the coaches he didn't tell, obviously."

Shurmur said he had frequent discussions with Hillis throughout the season, "and we never discussed any of those topics, for sure. Beyond that, I really can't comment. It's somebody saying something, but as far as he and I, we never discussed his retirement."

Shurmur said the team hasn't yet slammed the door on franchising Hillis, although a source said it's "very unlikely." That decision would have to be made by 4 p.m. Monday and would mean a $7.7 million payday for Hillis in 2012. Most likely, Hillis will hit the free-agent market March 13.

Evan Silva from Rotoworld (a guy i respect alot) has his post combine mock draft...i listed where he put the browns potential targets
Post-Combine NFL Mock Draft

2. Browns (Projected Trade) -- Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III

We usually avoid trade projections in mock drafts, but a deal for Griffin is virtually inevitable. The bidding war began at the Combine, and will continue right up until the draft's first night. While the Redskins will be ardent pursuers, we suspect the Rams would prefer to trade with Cleveland. It's no secret that St. Louis is high on LSU CB Morris Claiborne, who might not get past Tampa Bay at No. 5. The Rams would also have a better shot to be competitive in new coach Jeff Fisher's first season armed with two 2012 first-round picks, as opposed to one in 2012 and another in 2013.

5. Buccaneers -- Alabama running back Trent Richardson

The best running back prospect to enter the pros since Adrian Peterson, Richardson received full medical clearance at the Combine following his February 3 knee scope. "It was about as minor and routine as you can get," said Dr. James Andrews, who performed the surgery. Richardson even has a leg up on Peterson coming out of college as a far superior blocking and pass-catching back. New Bucs coach Greg Schiano was one of college football's most run-heavy minds, and don't expect him to veer from that approach in the NFL. LeGarrette Blount can't get it done alone.

6. Redskins -- Texas A&M quarterback Ryan Tannehill

The Redskins are not expected to seriously pursue Peyton Manning or Matt Flynn in free agency. Mike Shanahan's most likely approach involves signing a stopgap passer like Kyle Orton or Rex Grossman, and opening the season with the veteran while the rookie waits. Missing out on RG3 wouldn't be a devastating setback because Tannehill might be a better fit for Shanahan's offense. Outstanding athletically in his own right, Tannehill is a strong-armed, more accurate version of Jake Locker.

12. Seahawks -- Oklahoma State wide receiver Justin Blackmon

The Seahawks may not envision receiver as a weak spot entering late April, but they'll face an interesting dilemma should Blackmon, Kendall Wright, and Michael Floyd all be available at No. 12. Blackmon's measurables are certainly not top-ten caliber, and his possession-style game tape is similar to Julio Jones' coming out of Alabama with two fewer inches, 13 fewer pounds, and a (likely) inferior forty time. There's still a good chance he'd be Seattle's highest rated player. Sidney Rice is coming off double shoulder surgeries, Golden Tate has mostly underwhelmed, and Mike Williams is an offseason release candidate after fracturing his left ankle and fibula last December.

16. Jets -- Notre Dame wide receiver Michael Floyd

The Jets are thirsty for playmakers, so Baylor's Kendall Wright, Boise's Doug Martin, and LSU's Rueben Randle should all generate consideration at the 16th pick. Wright may be too much like Santonio Holmes, however, while Martin could be considered a reach. Randle is perhaps too raw. Floyd is a polished possession receiver with a deceptive vertical game and experience at all three receiver spots. Notre Dame's all-time leader in TD catches (37) is also dynamite in the red area.

17. Bengals -- Baylor wide receiver Kendall Wright

Make no mistake: Wright's 4.61 "official" forty time will not cost him. He'll run 4.4s at Baylor's Pro Day and be drafted in the top-20 picks. The Bengals can supplement their offensive arsenal with the top downfield playmaker in the draft, pairing Wright with A.J. Green to give Andy Dalton arguably the most promising receiver duo in the AFC. While David DeCastro and Dre Kirkpatrick are also worthy of pick No. 17, the opportunity to draft Wright is simply too appealing to pass up.

22. Rams (Projected Trade) -- Penn State defensive tackle Devon Still

On both sides of the ball, line play has been a seemingly unfixable deficiency for St. Louis. At the 22nd pick, the Rams would consider both Still and Stanford's Jonathan Martin if the draft plays out as we project. Still is more of a sure thing, and coach Jeff Fisher's defenses have long featured dominant interior performance. Look for the Rams to draft the best offensive player left at No. 33.

Tannehill at #6 is exactly what professional sports drafts are all about: other teams making stupid, desperate moves that give your team a chance to get better or stay better than them. Tannehill at #6 is a ray of hope for 31 NFL teams.

Well, you have a point there. But I saw Tannehill a couple of times last season, and I never would have pegged him higher than a day 3 selection.

it depends if you only watch the first half of games or the entire thing. i had him in college fantasy football, so i watched more a&m games than i should have. there were times where you thought this kid was the real deal, and others where you knew derrick anderson was laughing. but physically, he is superior to christian ponder, so it wouldn't be overly surprising to see him go in the middle of the 1st.
