Rookie running back Phillip Lindsay made the 53-man roster of the Denver Broncos this preseason after signing with the team as an undrafted free agent in
May.
Since Lindsay wore No. 2 throughout the preseason
Patrik
Laine Jersey , he was going to have to change his number to one NFL rules
dictate running backs must wear for the regular season. So Lindsay decided to go
out and ask for the number of the best running back in franchise history.
First, he asked for permission.
I just got off the phone with Broncos rookie RB Phillip Lindsay who ask for my permission to rock the #30. Permission granted.
Outstanding young man! It was time to dust off the ole three O. Good luck.

Davis was a sixth round pick of the Broncos in 1995 and cracked the team’s roster due to his play on special teams. He embarked on a Hall of Fame career
that saw him named a first-team All-Pro three times and the league’s MVP in
1998.
Lindsay begins his career as a similar long shot for the Broncos. He’s accomplished step one by making the roster and will get the chance to show what
he can do moving forward.
Appreciate you, TD! Honored and humbled to wear your number. I will do everything I can to make you proud! ????????

Jerry Rice once wore the No. 80 of Seahawks Hall of Famer wide receiver Steve Largent in his one season with Seattle in 2004. However, the circumstances of
that arrangement were far less straightforward. The request from Lindsay was
direct and simple and it will lead to No. 30 being seen in the Broncos backfield
again for the first time since Davis’ retirement.
OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Baltimore Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith has been suspended for four games without pay for violating the NFL’s personal conduct
policy.
The suspension, announced Tuesday
Brock
Boeser Jersey , stems from Smith’s behavior toward his ex-girlfriend.
The Ravens released a statement that in part read: “The Ravens fully support the NFL’s decision. The NFL found evidence of threatening and emotionally
abusive behaviors by Jimmy toward his former girlfriend that showed a pattern of
improper conduct. Our player’s behavior was inappropriate and wrong.”
The suspension will take effect after the final mandated roster cuts on Sept. 1 and extend through Baltimore’s game at Pittsburgh on Sept. 30.
Smith, in a statement issued by the Ravens, said: “I promise that I have already learned much and will continue to learn more from this experience. … I
take full responsibility for my past conduct.”
Smith will be allowed to participate in all of the Ravens’ preseason activities, including games. The 30-year-old is one of Baltimore’s best
defensive backs.
The team said it reviewed the case to decide whether to keep Smith on the roster.
“We convened a group of Ravens women and men executives
Dan
Hamhuis Jersey Kids , not directly involved with our football operations,
to review the matter. We also engaged in conversations with Jimmy about his past
behavior and his intention to change,” the statement said.
“Additionally, it is our understanding that following a long-running and difficult custody dispute with his former girlfriend and mother of his
son
Anton
Stralman Jersey , Jimmy has resolved his custody and support issues.”
As a result, the Ravens will allow Smith to return after his suspension.
“Jimmy has acknowledged his behaviors were wrong and accepts full responsibility for them. He has completed a clinical evaluation and has agreed
to undertake any follow-up care or treatment that may be recommended. … Jimmy
has assured us that he is fully dedicated to making this change. He also
understands the consequences if he does not.”
Smith has played seven seasons for Baltimore since being drafted in the first round of the 2011 draft. He started in 12 games last season before an Achilles
tendon injury forced him to miss the team’s final four games. During those four
weeks, he chose to accept an NFL suspension for using performance
enhancers.
