Among the multitude of Phillip Lindsay's desirables that, apparently, went unnoticed during the NFL draft process was his 4.39-second time in the 40-yard dash, which would have been the second-fastest mark at last year's Scouting Combine.

Which, of course, he wasn't invited to. Which, probably, boosts him just a little more.

In front of a national afternoon audience Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the sensational Broncos running back registered the fastest carry you've seen all year. That's not hyperbole; it's fact.

Remember the 32-yard scamper Lindsay busted in the second quarter? Did you happen to notice turbo button being mashed? Good eye, good mind. He exceeded 22 miles-per-hour on the run — the fastest tote logged through Week 12 of the season, per The Athletic's Nicki Jhabvala.

Phillip Lindsay's (@I_CU_boy) 32-yard run against Pittsburgh clocked in a 22.36 MPH, per @NextGenStats. It's the fastest carry in the league this year.



Which makes the ending even more mind-numbing. How did he land on his feet? pic.twitter.com/suTU2GUc0b — Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) November 26, 2018

Not unnoticed: Lindsay set the Broncos' single-season rushing yards record for an undrafted rookie, surpassing Selvin Young. Now the league's seventh-leading rusher, he has 780 yards and six touchdowns on 135 carries, virtually guaranteed to surpass 1,000 in what will be remembered as an epic first-year campaign.

Speaking Monday, a day after Lindsay helped Denver pull to 5-6 with another massive upset, head coach Vance Joseph surprisingly refuted the notion of increasing his touches. Joseph did, however, admit there are no concerns about overworking the "lead back" — a title some of us have long assigned to Colorado's finest.

“We use him as we think fits, so no, he’s carrying the ball as a lead back," he said. "He’s doing a good job at it. He’s playing first, second and third downs. So, no.”
