The Tampa Bay Storm have announced that they have brought back wide receiver/kick returner Michael Lindsey. This will be his fifth season with the Storm.

He returns to the Storm after spending some time during the 2015 season with their in-state rivals, the Jacksonville Sharks. He began his professional career in 2011 with the Storm and made a big impact, setting the Storm record for kickoff return yards that season with 1,745 yards.

As a receiver, he's caught 196 passes for 2,132 yards and 27 touchdowns.  He's also pretty good on defense, recording 50.5 tackles, four forced fumbles, one interception and one pass breakup.

"Mike is an impact player that can make a difference in all phases of the game," Storm president of football operations Jeff Gooch said, "His ability to play on offense, defense and special teams gives him a unique skill that will help us heading into the second half of the season.
