BIOGRAPHY
Phillip Lindsay was born in July 24th, 1994 in Denver, Colorado. He is a running back in the NFL.
Lindsay attended South High School in Denver where he became the school's all-time leading rusher with 4,587 yards. He played college football at the University of Colorado Boulder 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 ever make the Pro Bowl.
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.
Lindsay joined the Colorado team during the fall of 2013. After originally committing to Texas Tech, Lindsay switched to Colorado in January 2013. He opted to redshirt during the 2013 season.
Lindsay signed with the Denver Broncos as an undrafted free agent on May 1, 2018. He made the Broncos' final roster after an impressive preseason, and was named the third running back on the depth chart behind Royce Freeman and Devontae Booker. He finished his first season with 1,278 total yards (1,037 rushing yards, 241 receiving yards) from scrimmage and 10 touchdowns.
In the 2019 season, he surpassed 1,000 yards rushing to become the first undrafted player in league history to do so in his first two seasons. In the 2020 season, he finished the season with 502 rushing yards and one touchdown.
Lindsay signed with the Houston Texans on March 30, 2021.
In May of 2022, he signed a one-year deal with the Indianapolis Colts.
