Ex-Broncos and Dolphins running back chimes in on Jaylen Waddle
· Yahoo Sports
Former Denver Broncos and Miami Dolphins running back Phillip Lindsay recently gave his thoughts on new Broncos wide receiver Jaylen Waddle.
Lindsay and Waddle were teammates with Miami in 2021, Waddle's rookie season and his first 1,000-yard campaign in the NFL. First of all, Lindsay spoke highly of the trade for Waddle.

"Waddle is the type of guy you want in your building," said Lindsay in an interview with Kyle Odegard of the Action Network. "Great with the players, always laughing, always having fun. But he will also push you on that football field. Everybody around Waddle will get better because of him."
Specifically, Lindsay believes Waddle can make cornerback Riley Moss even better. In recent seasons, Moss has been targeted simply because he plays across from the best cornerback in football. In Waddle's case, iron could sharpen iron.
"Riley has the best type of opportunity to get better, because now he gets to go against a big-bodied receiver like Courtland Sutton, and a shifty receiver like Waddle who you have to stay with and work on your technique," Lindsay told Odegard. "When you get into these games, it will be a lot easier for him.”
Waddle's capability as a speedy, shifty weapon was not lost on Lindsay, who was one of those players in his own right when he played for the Broncos. "(Waddle) has the speed, agility and quickness to take a screen that may look like a 3-yard gain, and turn it into a 60-yard explosive touchdown," Lindsay said. "We’ve seen that multiple times throughout his career. His route-running ability is crazy. Adding Waddle to the mix, it’s going to be a breath of fresh air to this fanbase, and for Bo Nix, it’s another weapon."
Waddle and Nix hope to ignite their chemistry at training camp, which begins on July 31. Veterans will report to camp on July 28, while rookies report on July 22. The 2026 season is just around the corner!
