Opinion: Where Isaiah Oliver and Phillip Lindsay would best fit in the NFL

Former Colorado defensive back Isaiah Oliver and running back Phillip Lindsay had their own specific goals heading into Colorado pro day Wednesday.

For Oliver, it was making sure he didn’t impact his high draft stock by not doing too much. For Lindsay, he wanted to prove the doubters wrong.

Both achieved their goals successfully as Oliver was able to impress scouts, yet stay healthy by jumping a 35.5-inch vertical and not partaking in the 40-yard dash. Oliver posted a 4.50 second 40-yard dash in the NFL Scouting Combine last Monday in Indianapolis and decided not to improve on that time.
