BOULDER — Phillip Lindsay burst from the white line and flew upfield, his arms swinging by his side, his cheeks puffing and braids bouncing as the eyes of dozens of NFL scouts followed his path to the finish.
Standing alongside the middle of his runway inside the University of Colorado’s indoor practice facility was a Broncos contingent that included general manager John Elway, senior personnel advisers Gary Kubiak and Matt Russell and coach Vance Joseph.
As Lindsay whisked by in a blur, the four glanced at one another and smiled coyly while a chorus of “oohs” and round of applause erupted from the cluster of fans and teammates behind them.
