Running back Peyton Hillis still finds himself looking for work after two mediocre-at-best seasons for the Cleveland Browns and Kansas City Chiefs the last two years.

With training camps beginning to open around the league at least one team is willing to bring Hillis in for a kick of the tires to see if he has anything left.

According to Jenna Laine of SportsTalkFlorida.com, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are bringing Hillis in for a tryout on Tuesday.

Hillis ran for 1,177 yards and 11 touchdowns with the Browns in 2010 in a breakout season. In the two years since, Hillis has rushed for just 896 yards and one touchdown. Injuries and lack of production have led Hillis to start just 11 games over that span.
