Broncos’ rookie running back Phillip Lindsay is often spotted at UCHealth Training Center wearing the black and gold of the Colorado Buffaloes, his alma mater, when not in uniform to represent his hometown roots.
His pride is strong as ever these days. CU coach Mike MacIntyre and the Buffs are 5-0 for the first time since 1998 and represent the Pac-12’s lone undefeated team entering a Saturday night kickoff at USC. Lindsay, the NFL’s leading rookie rusher through five weeks (328 yards), is locked into the Broncos’ pivotal home test Sunday against the Rams. But he’ll never stop supporting the Buffaloes, either.
