Peyton Hillis
After a 2009 season with the Broncos where he totaled only 73 yards, Peyton Hillis was traded to the Browns in 2010 and became their starting running back, using his fullback frame to bowl over defenders on his way to over 1,600 total yards and 13 touchdowns. His performance led fans to vote him as the cover athlete for “Madden NFL 12,” but he became one of the biggest victims of the Madden Curse, leaving Cleveland after a disappointing 2011 season and never catching on anywhere else as a starter.
