Last year, Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay made NFL history by becoming the first undrafted rookie to earn a Pro Bowl berth. Lindsay earned the All-Star nod after totaling 1,278 yards from scrimmage and scoring 10 touchdowns.
Lindsay made more history against the Oakland Raiders on Sunday. Lindsay went into the game needing 42 yards for a second-consecutive 1,000-yard season. Lindsay surpassed 50 rushing yards in the fourth quarter, breaking the century mark for the second time in his career.
Lindsay became the first undrafted player in league history to rush for 1,000 yards in each of his first two seasons in the NFL. Lindsay is also Denver’s first running back to rush for 1,000 yards in back-to-back seasons since Clinton Portis (2002-03).
The Broncos signed Lindsay as a college free agent out of Colorado following last year’s draft. He quickly won the team’s starting job and has been one of the team’s best offensive players over the last two seasons.
