Phillip Lindsay: If NFL scouts were turned off by my learning disorder “then shame on them”

BOULDER — Philip Lindsay has a message for NFL scouts during Combine Week in Indianapolis: If you dismiss a pro prospect because they’re battling attention deficit disorder, you just might be turning your back on a Pro Bowler.

“It could be a concern to some, I don’t really know,” the Broncos and former CU and Denver South tailback told reporters Wednesday morning. “But if it is, then shame on them. Because that doesn’t define a person, who they are … if they’re good at something, they’re good at it.”

Lindsay, who went from an undrafted rookie to a Broncos Pro Bowl selection in 2018, addressed his personal battles with attention deficit disorder, or ADD, during a public forum Wednesday at CU’s Champions Center.
