With some additional downtime in the work of the N.F.L. lockout, Peyton Hillis, a Cleveland Browns walking back, has become proficient at the Irritate NFL video game by EA Sports. They also became its unlikely cover boy for Irritate NFL 12, winning the sports video game version of”American Idol”. They beat out more glamorous names like Michael Vick and Aaron Rogers after a six-week online fan voting campaign that generated over 12.7 million votes.

But they get the most satisfaction from being the best virtual player in the relatives.
”I’m lovely now to beat my sister.” Hillis said. “That’s the most important thing.”
Bad seasons and bad injuries have befallen the players on the Irritate cover. They have stumbled on misfortune in the work of the season of their cover shots.
Although plenty of fans around the country might not be familiar with him, Hillis had a breakout season in 2010, when they rushed for one, 177 yards and scored 13 touchdowns, not bad for a seventh-round draft pick in 2008.
For example, of Irritate NFL 10’s cover stars, Troy Polamalu, injured his knee and the Steelers, after winning the 2009 Tremendous Bowl, failed to make the playoffs.
So did Hillis ask for a few rabbit’s feet along together with his copy of the game?
”I don’t think in curses,” said Hillis, who was in Manhattan recently.
“I could get hurt next year, but I don’t think it's anything to do with the curse,” they added. I’m a Christian man and I don’t think anything could be put in front of me that God can’t take away. I would like to show everyone wrong and have an exceptional year and not get hurt.
The benefit is you get to rest your body a tiny bit more and you spend more time along with your relatives, they said. The disadvantage is you may not stay in the right shape like you always require being in.
Because of the labor dispute, Hillis must wait to start on proving everyone wrong. They said they saw benefits and disadvantages to the lockout.
And in case you have a new coach like they have, you’re not in there learning the playbook. You have less time to learn stuff. You require getting the timing down between the quarterback and receivers. It takes a tiny time to get that situated, and this lockout is definitely hurting that.
Hillis, who lives in Arkansas, has kept in shape with a group of teammates. “I got back from Austin where I was three times working out with Colt McCoy as well as a bunch of the blokes,” they said. We were walking routes and trying to get the timing down and learn the playbook.
Other players share his dedication, they said, a lovely sign for the Browns.
”I think players are disciplined to work out on their own.” they said. The closer training camp time gets here, the more players become self-conscious and it’s on their minds to be in shape. If players are not working out hard right now, they are going to be.
”I don’t see the point in it besides money,” they said. From a player’s standpoint, it’s rough on the players. Not only do you have 16 regular-season games, you also have preseason games. Then in case you make the playoffs, you can have more games before you get to the Tremendous Bowl. So you can already have 24 games without the 18-game season. And 24 games take an actual toll on somebody’s body.
Hillis is critical of the proposed 18-game schedule.
Hillis, 25, sees lovely things ahead for the Browns, who completed 5-11 last season. They is enthusiastic about Pat Shurmur, the new head coach, who was the offensive coordinator for the St. Louis Rams. And the Cleveland defense will be helped by their top picks, Phil Taylor, a tackle out of Baylor, and Jabaal Sheard, and finish from Pittsburgh.
”I don’t think we’re that far away,” Hillis said. With Coach Shurmur and the draft, it could be this year or years from now. But we’re definitely getting back to the playoffs.
