ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) ― The Denver Broncos have signed seventh-round draft pick Peyton Hillis, a fullback from the University of Arkansas who helped clear the way for two-time Heisman Trophy runner-up Darren McFadden.

Hillis collected 2,624 all-purpose yards and 23 touchdowns as a three-year starter at Arkansas, where he set school records for running backs with 118 career catches, 1,195 yards receiving and 11 TD receptions.

He also rushed for 959 yards and a 4.7-yard average with 12 TDs.

Last season he led the Razorbacks with 49 catches for 537 yards and blocked for 1,000-yard rushers McFadden and Felix Jones. Also a kick and punt returner, Hillis totaled 886 all-purpose yards.
