Orlando Franklin pushes him into the end zone and you call that breaking tackles? Then you show another video where he gets brought down by the first Pitt player to get a hand on him.
Come on man!

Hillman plowed through that SF linebacker. It didn't really look like Franklin gave him that much help. And in the pitt video it shows 3 runs. Watch the second one. First gets hit 4 yards past the LOS and gains 8 or 9 on the play.
Look, I'm not saying the guy breaks tackles on every play or breaks as many as CJ. I know you guys like to exaggerate and put words in my mouth, but I just haven't said anything of the sort.
All I said it that he breaks more tackles than he gets credit for, and doesn't go down with every attempt at an arm tackle as has been said. One thing that can't be debated is that is puts up very similar numbers to CJ. Is CJ better, sure, never said he wasn't. But he's not leaps and bounds better like some try to say.
When CJ can put together a whole season as the starter without limping off the field at least once per game and put up big numbers in the process, I will concede the point that he is some stud worthy of a huge contract that is way better than Hillman.
Just clicked Dog's link and those are 2014 stats. No shit Hillman was so low. I think he made big strides in 2015 in his ability to break tackles. If someone can find 2015 stats and show that Hillman's yards after contact was just as bad, I'll concede the point.
2014 stats. Like I said, I think he improved in this regard in 2015. From what I can find on google, no one has posted 2015 stats for broken tackles or yards after contact. Looks like all the 2014 articles weren't posted until May or later. Might be a little while before we get those stats for this past season.

See CJ on the "Highest Percentage of Runs with 10+ Yards After Contact" list.
See Ronnie on the "Highest Percentage of Runs with No Yards After Contact" list.
EDIT: Might be from 2014. Posted cause 2015 is in the URL.
Yeah, this is fun.

Hillman is the Tebow of RB's.
