I don't think many, if any, would complain if Phil got that honor.

Proper senior day spirit
Get your horns out!
Has to be discouraging for a defense when they finally get a big hit on him and he pops up smiling and comes right back at them.
He's a beast, no doubt. It's a ****ty feeling as a player when you clean a guy's clock and he just keeps going, talks some **** too.
Phil is the steadying, calming force for our offense. Even when his teammates are lagging behind, he just puts them all on his back!
God Bless Phillip Lindsay!!!
He is the patriarch of the Senior Class and will be missed and is a legend.
Hope that something special happens this Saturday against USC and that playing with and for a man like PL will motivate this team.
Perfect Press Conference my man.

Wow.
My favorite Phillip Lindsay play wasn't a run. In the 10-5 Stanford game, Lynott got dinged and left the field. Another guy came in to play right guard, and #90 blew by him like he wasn't there and sacked Sefo. On the next play, he blew right by him again, but Phillip intercepted 90 and stopped him cold while Sefo made a play.
I can't recall 90s name, but he was a 290 pound All-American and a 1st round pick. Phillip straight up stoned him. He's a great all-round player.
EDIT: Soloman Thomas. Third pick in the '17 draft.

Even with the o-line not performing up to expectations...

Lindsay would be right up there with Love without the suspensions.
That play in particular highlights an aspect of the game that he is really good at: pass protection blocking.
It's what I think will get him a cup of coffee in the no fun league. NFL coaches won't have to worry about him being able (or being willing) to block in pass protection. How often do we hear that the reason a "less talented" running back is playing is because the "more talented" guy can't/won't block?
All the time. The position where the organization has the most money invested is QB. So the NFL payroll and emphasis flows from there. OTs are paid huge because they protect the QB from blindside hits. Receivers who can win 1-on-1s are paid huge money because they give that QB his main weapon. Defensively, the guys who get paid are the edge pass rushers and CBs who bring the heat and shut down the receiving weapon.
Within that context, a RB who picks up blitzes and catches the ball out of the backfield as an outlet is more valuable than a pure runner to an NFL team. It's a QB league. A passing league.
I think Phil is going to have a long successful NFL career as a 3rd/4th string RB but special teams ace. He doesn't play special teams for us because we need him to do so much on offense, but its so damn obvious he has the mentality to be an awesome special teamer at the next level. Think David Bruton type guy.
His NFL trajectory will probably match Bieniemy’s, just like his career at CU had similarities.
Doubt he wins it, but should end up as a Finalist, IMO. Obviously won't end up as the nation's leading rusher, but has a shot at the yards from scrimmage leader, with a big game vs Utah. Greatest all-around career Buff?
