One secret to Phillip Lindsay’s sensational NFL rookie success?
Taekwondo.
Believe it. In a Players’ Tribune video released Monday, Lindsay displays his exceptional martial arts talent, passed down from his father, Troy, who taught all five of his children the craft growing up in Denver. Lindsay says in the video: “It was a way to interact with each other and learn about our bodies, to be at peace and to be one with ourselves.”
Lindsay, in an interview with The Denver Post last fall, credited taekwondo among the factors that allowed him to recover from an ACL tear in high school, and then never miss a game with injury at CU over 51 appearances for the Buffaloes.
