Former Arkansas and NFL running back Peyton Hillis was discharged from the hospital on Friday, about two weeks after he reportedly helped rescue family members from a swimming accident in Pensacola, Florida.
"The amount of love and gratitude I have for the incredible team that took care of Peyton is indescribable," Hillis' girlfriend, Angela Cole, wrote on Instagram."This picture does not have anywhere near the amount of people who took such great care of him.
"To Baptist Hospital in Pensacola: Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I know I told you this probably 20 times a day, but you are so incredible. You all worked like a perfected machine with each and every one of you so kind, attentive, calming and caring. You not only saved Peyton's life, you made it a priority to make sure that his family and I were okay amidst your busy schedules … I mean, I am just in AWE.
Hillis spent four seasons at Arkansas as a fullback, and was drafted in the seventh round of the NFL Draft in 2008 by the Denver Broncos. He was traded to Cleveland two years later, and immediately became a breakout star. Hillis had a career-best 1,177 rushing yards and 13 total touchdowns that season, which actually earned him enough votes for the “Madden NFL 12” cover athlete.
Hillis then spent time with the Kansas City Chiefs and New York Giants before retiring after a string of concussions, something his doctors recommended, in 2015.
