Less than 100 more yaards rushing and he'll be the first white back since Craig freaking James to rush for over 1,000 yards. I believe James went for around 1250 yards in 1985 and was killer as well in the playoffs for the Patriots.

Hillis is already at Mike Alstott level and seems to be equivalent except he is a good bit more agile.

He's impressive.

I hate when Mike Alstott comes up when talking about Hillis. The only thing they have in common is skin color.

Wow, that is surprising to hear that Alstott never had 1000 yards.

James had a hell of a year...much like Hillis is having....James was also over 100 yards in 2 playoff games that season.

Skin color aside....I still say he is similar to Alstott but with a nice amount of agility.

I think Hillis is like Roger Craig in style and ability; bruising , agile and above average receiving back.

Roger Craig?......I'm not going that far. Craig had a 1,000 rushing and receiving in one season....how many have done that in NFL history?

Marshall Faulk was my favorite player ever until Peyton Manning came along. Was the lone bright spot on some dismal Colt teams!

I still remember when he had to be traded, so sad. Good think Colts had Polian in charge who drafted Edge James, then with the picks for Faulk (IIRC) got Mike Peterson and Brad Scioli. Pretty good trade for both parties.

Hillis COULD get to those numbers this season, despite not being the feature back in the first few seasons.

I think Brian Westbrook had a 1000-1000 season also but I might be mistaken

Westbrook never did, but on a similar note, I could see LeSean McCoy accomplishing the feat at some point in his career.

I said style and ability, not stats. But his stats for receiving are not too bad. He is projected at 1300 rush and 600 rec.
