gold star for USAHOF

Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity. As such, we are very happy to present our pre-2021 revision of our top 50 Indianapolis Colts of all-time.

As for all of our top 50 players in football we look at the following: 

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the NFL. 

3. Playoff accomplishments.

4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

There are two new additions in the Top 50, and one small elevation, from our current Colts, but none of which impact our top five.

As always, we present our top five.  They are:

1. Peyton Manning

2. Johnny Unitas

3. Gino Marchetti

4. Marvin Harrison

5. Raymond Berry

You can find the entire list here.

Wide Receiver, T.Y. Hilton moved up one spot to #24.

Left Guard, Quenton Nelson, who has been a First Team All-Pro in all three of his seasons comes in at #48.

2018 Defensive Rookie of the Year, Darius Leonard enters at #49.

We welcome your input and commentsand as always, we thank you for your support.

T.Y. Hilton is still with the Indianapolis Colts as of this writing, which is to date the only NFL team that he ever played for.  He started as a special teams player, but his play and injuries to his teammates moved him to a featured position on the Colts offense, punctuated by five 1,000 Yard years, and the Receivining Yards title in 2016 (1,448).  To date, he has been named to four Pro Bowls and has over 9,000 Yards and counting, though based on his last two seasons, Hilton is in decline.  

Regardelss, of his best years being behind him, Hilton will go down as one of the top Wide Receivers in franchise history.
