Former NFL player Peyton Hillis is in critical condition after saving his children from drowning:'He is a hero'


Former NFL running back Peyton Hillis is reportedly in critical condition after saving his children from drowning.



The Arkansas native reportedly was involved in a "swimming accident" in Pensacola, Florida. Hillis, 36, is said to be in critical condition after rescuing his children from drowning in the Gulf of Mexico on Thursday.



The former University of Arkansas star was airlifted to a local hospital.



"According to the family member, although he remains unconscious in the ICU, Hillis' breathing is improving," KNWA-TV reported.



Greg Hillis, Peyton's uncle, shared a Facebook post on Thursday regarding the former NFL player's condition, according to KNWA-TV reporter Alyssa Orange.



"I just wanted to let everyone know on Razorback Nation that Peyton is doing better," Greg Hillis wrote."He’s still in intensive care and having some problems with his kidneys and his lungs but doctors say he is improving. I just wanted to head off any rumors that may be started. I’m sure he would want everyone to know that he appreciates all of the prayers being thrown up on his behalf!!!”
