On Wednesday, May 23, more than 200 youth football players gathered at Sports Authority Field at Mile High for the annual Futures Football Banquet. The Futures program, which is supported by the Broncos, gives kids in Denver the opportunity to play tackle football and to develop personally.
Since it began in 2008, the Futures Football program has seen its share of talented players. Perhaps no one has enjoyed much as success, though, as former Futures player Phillip Lindsay. The running back was a member of the inaugural class of Futures Football players before he went on to Denver South High School and then the University of Colorado.
