‘I’ve got to prove myself again’: After one last honor for rookie season, Phillip Lindsay ready to move on
Quote:
DENVER — Sorry, mom. Sorry, dad. Phillip Lindsay is moving out.
No longer an unheralded running back at the bottom of the depth chart, Lindsay is making some changes. He got a new car — a sports car befitting a speedy player like himself — and a new car for his mother. And, yes, after spending his rookie season living with his parents in his childhood home, Lindsay is searching for a place of his own.
Things are very different for Phillip Lindsay now, as compared to a year ago, and it was hard to shake that thought as he arrived at the Hilton Denver City Center hotel on Wednesday night with an ESPN camera crew in tow for the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame’s 55th annual hall of fame induction and awards banquet. Amid stiff competition from other local sports stars that include the Rockies’ Kyle Freeland and Nolan Arenado, the Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic and the Avalanche’s Nathan MacKinnon, Lindsay earned the Hall’s Professional Athlete of the Year award.

Broncos Phillip Lindsay details wrist recovery, accepts Colorado Sports Hall of Fame honor
Quote:
Phillip Lindsay rode down an escalator toward a hotel ballroom wearing a custom designer suit, checkered white and gray with teal accents, plus two gold chains that swayed beneath his trademark brown Afro. An ESPN camera crew followed his every move. He couldn’t stop smiling.
Lindsay prepared for an uncertain football future around this time last spring as the fifth running back on the Broncos’ depth chart. Wednesday night, he strolled into the Hilton Denver City Center to accept the 2018 professional athlete of the year award given by the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame. From undrafted CU Buffs legend, to NFL starter, and to 1,000-yard rusher, Lindsay’s meteoric rise vaulted him to a new level of celebrity.
“I just keep going with the flow of things,” he said. “Sometimes I think back and say, ‘Dang, this is surreal.’ ”
