The Facts:
After suffering through a miserable 2011 campaign, Hillis looks ready to be a key contributor for the Chiefs. He reported to camp in outstanding shape and is running the rock with the urgency and physicality that made him a feared runner in Cleveland.

This according to NFL.com's Bucky Brooks, who went on to suggest that with Hillis also displaying soft hands and superb receiving skills in practice, it wouldn't surprise him to see the Chiefs use Hillis as a feature back in a variety of sub packages to take advantage of his versatility. And that makes perfect sense. We've said all along that Kansas City with Brian Daboll, the OC in Cleveland for Hillis' big season two years ago, calling the plays was the ideal landing spot. In addition to being the perfect complement to Jamaal Charles, Hillis is capable of being more if need be.
