Former ASU linebacker with a hard-nosed, disruptive edge
Chad Lindsey’s Arizona State résumé shows a true throwback linebacker: in the 2005 season he appeared in 10 games, posted 5 total tackles, and added a tackle for loss and a sack, with ASU listing him as an aggressive, hard-nosed defender coming out of Cypress Ridge High School. His value was less about gaudy numbers and more about physicality, special-teams utility, and toughness—traits coaches tend to love when they want a defender who plays with some bite. If you’re looking for a tone-setter rather than a stat-stuffer, he fits the mold.
