ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – For some, nine yards might not seem like all that much, just 324 inches of football real estate that isn’t quite a first down.
But for Phillip Lindsay, the 24-year-old Denver Broncos rookie running back, it is much more. Because for many, Lindsay is 5-foot-8 and 190 pounds worth of possibilities.
Lindsay's story continues to become more familiar across the NFL -- uninvited to the NFL’s scouting combine last February, undrafted, a Pro Bowl nod and nine yards from a 1,000-yard rushing season.
