After seeing the heart and chracter he played with for the last 4 years, and now has demonstrated in getting ready for the draft, he may go down as my all-time favorite Buff.
John Elway right after the picture is taken: "Now where on Pearl Street are we going drinking?"
Not really sure, but 8/9 reps on bench, high 4.6s in 40 and 28(!!!) inch vertical is basically a complete job interview meltdown.Didn't Bobo get hurt a little bit at the East-West practices or something?
Yeah I always remembered Sproles being thicker, but looking it up he was only 190, but at 5'6" that's pretty thick. I think Lindsay can get to that weight and be comparable to what Sproles was. Not sure what Sproles ran his 40 in, but even a hand time 4.39 is plenty fast to be in that kind of role.Sproles was thicker and had better top end speed. Love speedy, but I don't think he compares favorably to sproles unless you are talking about pass blocking.

l'm less concerned with his height and more with him weighing in at 184 lbs. Even for a change-of-pace, 3rd down, pass catching RB, that is light. Hopefully there is one team out there that thinks everything he brings to the table is worth a late round flyer and that they can get him to put on another 10-15 lbs.Lindsay is short. That’s pretty much the only knock. He catches, he’s got speed, he blocks, he gets yards after contact, he avoids initial tacklers, he doesn’t fumble, and he’s the hardest working guy in the room.
Height isn’t an important thing for RBs. Being shorter is sometimes an advantage even in short yardage because the back can hide behind those behemoths on the OL.
I suspect he slimmed down a bit to post that 40 and he’ll play at 5-10 lbs heavierl'm less concerned with his height and more with him weighing in at 184 lbs.

Lindsay stated in the video when asked what he is hearing from (nfl scouts) "some want me to be a slot"
With his limitations of size could this be the approach Lindsay should take to get his best opportunity in the NFL? Probably more comps at Slot WR/APB than feature RB. Come on Broncos and Draft this guy....put the Isaiah McKenzie (5'7" 173) debacle to rest
Quizz Rodgers 5'6" 195 RB
TY Hilton 5'9" 180
Steve Smith 5'9" 195
Antonio Brown 5'10" 180

Randall Cobb 5'10 190

Here it is, one sack given up in 483 protection snaps in his entire career.
He's very similar to Sproles as a pass catcher. Sproles had the reputation of having exceptional speed, but I think Lindsay's 40 time yesterday put him in a similar category. Here's another comparison: Eric Bienemy.
Washington has Alex Smith.They just lost their qb.
uh so.Washington has Alex Smith.
Wasn't he one of the top rated passers in the NFL?uh so.
You don’t put much stock in an NFL QB throwing for 4000 yards 26 tds and 5 pics?Sure but I don't put much stock into those numbers these days.
Not really, you can't hit anyone anymore. It makes a difference.You don’t put much stock in an NFL QB throwing for 4000 yards 26 tds and 5 pics?
