Phillip Lindsay playing in XFL, willing to return to Broncos as a ‘role player’: “I would love to come back to Denver. That would be a great storybook ending to a big-time fairy tale. I would be ecstatic. It would be a dream come true again.”

>Lindsay believes there could be a need for him on the Broncos, with starting running back Javonte Williams still recovering from a serious knee injury suffered last October. And he sees a team that could use another veteran back.
>“I had my greatest years in Denver, and it would be great to be able to get an opportunity to finish off my career there,’’ said Lindsay, 28, who said he wants to play at least two more NFL seasons. “I wouldn’t be there trying to be a starter, a star. I just want to play my role and help win some games and bring something to Denver.
>“At this point of my career, being a role player would be just fine with me, going in there and doing my part on special teams and bringing a spark when I can. Just being a great person and a great vet.”
>Lindsay said his agent Mike McCartney has reached out to the Broncos and been told they want to see how the NFL draft goes before making any possible additional moves at running back. The Broncos have five picks in the draft that runs Thursday through Saturday. They don’t have a first- or a second-round selection and initially will be on the clock with selections No. 67 and 68 in Friday’s third round.
>Even if the Broncos draft a running back, Lindsay believes he could be an asset to the team.
>“It’s very important to have a veteran presence, somebody you can lean on, talk to, share information,’’ he said.
>Ryan Harris, a Denver broadcaster who was an offensive lineman for the Broncos from 2007-10 and in 2015, would welcome Lindsay having a second stint with the team.
>“For not only depth at running back, but he’s a character guy in the locker room,’’ Harris said. “He’s going to work hard every day. I don’t know if you’re going to find a more beloved CU Buff than Phillip Lindsay. … And he’s one of the best ambassadors in the NFL and for undrafted guys.”
At this point, it makes more sense to draft a RB in the middle rounds. Someone with fresh legs who we can match up with Perine and JW when he returns
Put him on the staff so we can quit talking about it
Of course he would love to come back to the Broncos. Any player in the XFL would love to get signed to any team in the NFL.
I’m sorry but the guy just isn’t cut out for the NFL and there’s zero chance he’d get signed again under Payton.
I’d love to join the Broncos as a role player too Phi
Y’all need to stop trying to make this happen.
Can you guys please stop talking about Lindsay?
No thanks.
Paxton Lynch has two less rushing yards than Lindsay. He does have a higher yard per carry average though!
No thanks
I love him, but we need a monster. I guess we got Williams; and Murray is huge. Maybe one more with some hands and inside strength
We already signed 2 rbs, Perine and Jones with Williams coming back. If we’re looking to add another back the draft seems like the best bet if not that we can bring back Murray/mack
Bring him home!
I’d love for this kid to be on the roster. Can’t believe the hate I’m seeing for him in this comment section. He was the only bright spot in 2018.
