The Facts:
Hillis has been chosen for the cover of the Madden ’12 video game, beating out Michael Vick in the final round of fan voting. “It means a lot to me and my family,” Hillis said. “I just want to say thank you.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As PFT's Michael David Smith suggests, putting Hillis on the Madden cover would have sounded like a joke this time last year. He was traded from Denver to Cleveland as part of the Brady Quinn deal as an apparent throw in. It wasn't clear if he'd play a contributing role in the offense. But he ended up doing just that. In fact, he became the Browns’ go-to player, carrying 270 times for 1,177 yards and 11 touchdowns and catching another 61 passes for 477 yards and two more touchdowns. And now, as Smith put it: "Hillis is the public face of one of the most prominent consumer products associated with the NFL."
