We can hear the anger from some of you now.  Eric Dickerson, the Hall of Fame Running Back was not exactly the model player in terms of behavior as suspensions, attitude and decline certainly made him less of a player than he was with the Los Angeles Rams.  Still, this is a player who won the Rushing Title as a Colt and still had two First Team All-Pro Selections with Indianapolis.  That is enough to earn him a spot here.

Dickerson entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1999 and the Colts responded by enshrining the star into their Ring of Honor in 2013.
Inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1990, Ted Hendricks was with the Baltimore Colts for the first third of this career.  Hendricks would win his first of four Super Bowls with Baltimore (Super Bowl V) and went to three Pro Bowls with the team.  Hendricks, the Strong Side Linebacker had 11 picks for the Colts.  He would later be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1990.
Known mostly for at one time holding the longest Field Goal (56 Yards) in NFL history, Bert Rechichar should probably be known more for being a three-time Pro Bowl Safety who was a punishing tackler.  Rechichar recorded 24 Interceptions for Baltimore and was also a top kick returner in the league.  This is definitely one of those players who you wonder why he isn’t remembered more.
Duane Bickett would win the AP defensive Rookie of the Year Award in 1985 and follow that up with a Pro Bowl nod in ’87.  Bickett was a starter immediately for the Colts and he would accumulate over 50 Quarterback Sacks for the organization.
