Peyton Hillis, a former Cleveland Browns running back, has been hospitalized after rescuing his two children from drowning in the ocean, according to reports.

A man believed to be the NFL veteran’s uncle confirmed in a statement on Facebook that doctors told him his nephew’s health is “improving,” though he remains in intensive care due to “some problems with his kidneys and his lungs.”
