Philip Lindsay would be like... the 4th best RB we've had on the team in the Andy Reid era.

I hate how people are starting to compare our players to him. Maybe, just MAAAAYBE I can see the size/weight thing, but I don't think people are using Lindsay in that way in the comparison, I think it's more as a, "Look at the late round/UDFA RB who's pretty good! What a steal!"

I can name several other 6th/7th/UDFA RBs to recently hit the NFL who are/were better than Lindsay. One of them is currently on the Chiefs (Damien Williams)

LOL it's not just the look though, he just has that "thing" about the way he moves through the tackles that reminds me of Tyreek as well. And remember, we got Ty In the late rounds when folks never really had much faith in smaller receivers then too. I've just got a feeling both Thompson and James Williams are gonna be huge for this team in the years to come.

I'm not sure this article was in here. It's amazing.

How often are they really asked to go 40 yards? I think speed for a rb is pretty overrated u less they’re just speed freaks like Charles was.

Balance and vision are up there for me

You'd LOVE a guy like Kareem Hunt.

Yip!

Simply Red 05-10-2019 02:35 PM

I didn't realize how horny i was for this guy - Sign me up - I hope he is good enough to take over as starting RB, soon.

His highlights look about like Hunt's did at Toledo.

man he's crazy quick in drills. jesus. getting your hands on him will be hard enough, good luck trying to bring him down.



I like him.

WhiteWhale 05-10-2019 04:59 PM

This pick was a steal.

He shows great balance and appears to make guys miss consistently.

He's going to be good. His size may limit him as a full time guy, but I think he'll be a quality NFL player quickly.

Also, as I get older these guys entering the NFL look younger and younger. Thompson looks like a kid to me.

RunKC 05-10-2019 05:09 PM

I think being short will really help him between the tackles. With such a short frame and strong balance, DL will have trouble grabbing him and LB’s will have trouble winning the leverage battle.

Can't say that yet until he produces in the regular season.

Mike Garrett & Bobby Holmes agree.

Darwin has potential that's for sure---

-King- 05-10-2019 06:29 PM

I swear he looks like he could be tyreeks little brother.
