One would see him occasionally at an NFL function, and he always had a smile on his face to match his upbeat personality.
I have been thinking about Buddy Young quite a bit lately, especially since the Broncos signed running back Phillip Lindsay of the University of Colorado as a college free agent.
A lot of teams were interested in signing Lindsay, but none of them did, and the likely reason is his height, not his productivity.
In his four years at Colorado, Lindsay ran for 3,775 yards and a 4.9 average, caught 117 passes for 1,084 more yards, and had 5,936 total yards to go with 39 touchdowns.
