Phillip Lindsay and Christian McCaffrey ascended to pro football stardom from the same Denver-area high school fields. The Pro Bowl running backs are now NFL opponents with the Broncos and Panthers, and both remain “Team Colorado.”
McCaffrey returned home this week to serve as an assistant coach at the youth football camp his father, Broncos legend Ed McCaffrey, started 18 years ago, and when asked to reflect on Lindsay’s instant NFL success, the Valor Christian alum gushed over the pride of Denver South.
“I root for him nonstop,” McCaffrey said of Lindsay.
