In a professional football career that was only spent in Baltimore, Dick Syzmanski was quite the versatile player, even for his era!  Syzmanski was used predominantly as a Center, a position in which he went to 3 Pro Bowls in.  However for two seasons Baltimore used him at Middle Linebacker, the first of which was the second straight NFL Title that the Colts won in 1959.

33. Jimmy Orr

Arriving to Baltimore after three years with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jimmy Orr would be a productive a Wide Receiver earning First Team All-Pro accolades in 1965. Orr finished in the top ten in Receiving Yards as a Colt three times (he had done in twice before in Pittsburgh) and led the NFL in Yards per Reception three times, two of which was when he was in Baltimore. Orr’s last game was in Baltimore’s Super Bowl V win.
A Baltimore Colt for the duration of his thirteen years of service in the NFL, Don Shinnick was one of the better pass rushers of his day. The former UCLA Bruin still holds the career record for Interceptions for the Colts and would lead the league in that metric in 1959, the same year he helped Baltimore to it’s second straight NFL Championship.
This one has to be a little bit tough for Colts fans.

Marshall Faulk would leave Indianapolis and accumulate additional statistics to earn a place in Canton and a Super Bowl Ring on his finger, but it was in Indianapolis where he played his first five professional seasons.
