Phillip Lindsay flew to Florida last month with the hope and belief that he would return less than a week later with a life-changing invite. He hoped that the NFL scouting combine, the annual showcase for college football’s top prospects, would welcome him to Indianapolis for the chance to test in front of every NFL team. He believed that after the East-West Shrine Game in St. Petersburg he would get his shot.
“Pretty much I’m going to have to go take my combine invite,” he said before leaving for Florida. “And that’s what I’ll do.”
Lindsay led all rushers in the East-West game with 51 yards on 12 carries.
