rest - https://www.9news.com/article/sports...d-0112b8fa5e19Phillip Lindsay wants the Broncos and their fans to understand one thing about his feelings towards Melvin Gordon.
“Melvin’s not my enemy,’’ Lindsay said Monday in a phone interview with 9News. “He’s my teammate. He needs to do his job but best believe I’m going to do my job.’’
Lindsay, the Broncos’ tailback who rushed for at least 1,000 yards in each of his first two seasons, also has a message for his running back mate. Just because everyone expects Gordon to become the Broncos’ new No. 1 running back after he received a two-year, $16 million contract from the Broncos last week doesn’t mean Lindsay will willingly step back to No. 2.
“When camp comes around it’s going to be a battle,’’ Lindsay said. “I’m not just going to sit there and give somebody the job. They can. But I’m going to go out there and I’m going to battle.
“I’ve heard this stuff my whole entire life. And it’s never ever panned out how everybody has wanted it to pan out. Until someone proves me wrong, I’m going to continue to do what I do.’’
