Cleveland Browns running back Peyton Hillis surpassed 1,000 yards rushing on Sunday, becoming the ninth Browns running back to do so. Hillis also became the first white running back to reach 1,000 yards since New England’s Craig James rushed for 1,227 in 1985. Here’s how Hillis’ season stacks up against the best seasons from Cleveland’s other 1,000-yard rushers:
