“If you have somebody that can complement me like I did my rookie year where I’m not just running up the middle trying to get first downs all day,” he said. “I was like, ‘OK, this takes some pressure off me. Now I can do my job and use my speed do my stuff and stay healthier, too.’”
Lindsay rushed for 1,011 yards and seven touchdowns last season. In 2018, he rushed for 1,037 yards and nine touchdowns.
