Official Phillip Lindsay Really is the first undrafted rookie in the ProBowl Thread
- Thread starter Ringer
- Start date
He seems faster to me, too.
He was noticeably faster last year than 2016. I think he has continued to rehab and train like crazy since his high school injury to get his top speed up.
He seems maybe a touch quicker after the combine training, but his top end speed is the same. That run was quintissential Phil.
Was just about to point out that while he's the leader Rookie rusher, he's also #3 in the entire NFL and only behind Matt Breida by 6 yards.

Lots of love for him on the fan this morning. Talked about if he is the number one back now. To which Mark said maybe not, just because he’s needed so many other places than just offense. Had another person on that’s the insider and he talked about how Phil just always does everything right. Hard worker, consistent, and humble.
Move over Von. Phil’s the face of the Broncos. HEY VON!! LET GO OF PHIL’S COLLAR!!!!

Top end speed was never his strength and even on the long one Sunday he got run down from behind.
What he showed though was an elite level of quickness that he can use while running at full speed. He has also proven that he can slip and break tackles at the pro level like he did in college.

He looks noticeably faster to me than he was in 2016. That play you're referencing, I actually saw it differently. The Raiders DB had a lead and the angle on PL, and Phil caught up to him, and was almost still able to run around him. You can tell he has excelled at identifying his weaknesses and working his ass off to improve in those areas. I LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing him succeed the way that he has.
He got run down yesterday because angles, otherwise he would have housed it. That’s kind of my point is that he was never a guy in college who was going to take it 75 yards by outrunning everyone. The ASU run comes to mind where guys caught him and he had to weave and make them miss to get in. That 4.3 pro day speed is showing up on th NFL field in a way we didn’t see in Boulder, IMO.
I would love it if Phil could blow up nationally and cash in on endorsements, etc. Make up for the undrafted rookie salary he's currently on.
Allsome. I know what I’m asking for for Bday/Xmas!

It's my son's birthday gift. The one thing he wanted.
Just got one for my wife. I'll be a hero. I might even get lucky.

I caught the 4th qtr of the game. Every time he was on the field, I got super excited. To see Phil Lindsay get this much notoriety this fast is great! I haven’t been this excited about the NFL since I was a kid. I mean, I bought a Broncos t-shirt not too long after he signed! That’s Disneyland level excitement for me!
Will you have to wear the jersey and make your hair all crazy to seal the deal?
It's also the first item that comes up when you search for Broncos jerseys. Von is #2.
Mine, too. Kept saying he wanted a Lindsay Vonn jersey, and then quickly correcting himself. Not sure why he mixes PL up with her, but I like his taste!
If that's a requirement, I'm in trouble. First, it's way too small for me. Second, I don't think there's such a thing as a gray-fro.
That's fantastic. Love it.
Worth it!
As long as he has the cup size for it, I'd say go for it.
This could very well happen.
Every kid in the country who is under 5'10" and dreams of playing in the NFL is going to see him as a role model. If my kid is going to look up to a pro athlete he could do much, much worse than Phil Lindsay.
