The hometown kid actually made it.
Phillip Lindsay’s dream began long ago when he was tossing a football with his siblings on the blacktop of their Denver neighborhood. Maybe you were in the bleachers when he became a Denver South High School legend. Maybe you watched him carry the rock over and over and over again as a Buffalo to revive a sleeping college football program. Or maybe you just decided to pick him up for your NFL fantasy league.
Any way you slice it, Lindsay’s prominent role as a Broncos’ running back, pass catcher and do-it-all special teamer reminds us why we love sports.
