Phillip Lindsay (born July 24, 1994) is an former American professional football running back. He was born in Denver, Colorado, grew up in Aurora, Colorado, and attended South High School in Denver where he became the school's all-time leading rusher with 4,587 yards. He played college football for the Colorado Buffaloes and set the school record in all-purpose yards (5,760) and yards from scrimmage (4,683). He was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Denver Broncos in 2018. Lindsay became the first undrafted offensive rookie to make the Pro Bowl. He is the only NFL player since 1950 to record 700 or more career touches without a fumble.




Early life


Lindsay, like his father Troy, played running back in high school. At South High School, Lindsay elected to wear the same jersey number as his father, 22. Playing for the Rebels, he chased the Denver Public School District record for rushing yards (4,400), which was set by his father in 1979. After a successful first three years of high school, Lindsay committed to playing for the University of Colorado Boulder. Shortly after surpassing his father's rushing record during his senior season, Lindsay suffered a severe ACL tear that brought an end to his high school career. Despite this injury, Mike MacIntyre, Colorado's coach, upheld the school's scholarship offer for the 2013 season. Apart from football, Lindsay also lettered in basketball as a freshman, and lettered all four years in track and field, where he ran sprints and relays and had personal bests of 10.9 seconds in the 100-meter dash, 22.2 in the 200 and 49.0 in the 400.




College career


Lindsay joined the Colorado team during the fall of 2013. He opted to redshirt during the 2013 season, during which time his work on the scout team earned him the honor of "Offensive Scout Team Player of the Year."
Before the 2014 season began, head coach Mike MacIntyre began calling Lindsay the "Tasmanian Devil" due to his quickness and determination on the field. As a backup running back and kick returner back during the season, Lindsay played in all 12 of the school's games. He led the team in kick returns and return yards and finished fourth on the team overall in rushing yards. Lindsay averaged 4.9 yards per carry in his 79 carries of the season.
Like the 2014 season, Lindsay saw action in all of the Buffaloes' games in 2015. He led the team in rushing attempts (140) and rushing yards (643), averaging 4.7 yards per carry. Lindsay scored seven touchdowns during the season, six rushing and one receiving. Despite only being a sophomore, Lindsay was elected by his teammates and coaches to be a team captain.
During the 2016 season, he rushed for 1,252 yards on 244 carries for an average of 5.1 yards per carry.
During his senior season in 2017, he rushed for a career-high 281 yards against Arizona. During the 2017 regular season, he ranked ninth among all Football Bowl Subdivision players with 1,474 rushing yards. Lindsay finished the 2017 season with the most rushing attempts (301) in Division I play. He was selected as a semifinalist for the Doak Walker Award for the nation's top running back.
Lindsay set the Colorado career record for all-purpose yards and yards from scrimmage and ranked second in school history in rushing yardage and fifth in points scored.
