Former Browns running back Peyton Hillis talks about saving kids from drowning

Back in January former Cleveland Browns running back Peyton Hillis was hospitalized after saving two children from drowning. His son and niece got caught up in a rip current and Hillis didn’t hesitate to jump in and make sure the kids were ok. During the event, Hillis had to battle 10 to 12-foot waves to rescue both children.

On Tuesdays Good Morning America, Hillis sat down with Michael Strahan to make his first public comments since the incident. After the event, Hillis was unconscious for 10 days in the hospital recovering. He is still recovering but it’s clear as day that Hillis is a hero who deserves all the respect in the world for his actions.
