Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we maintain and update our existing Top 50 lists annually. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2024 revision of our top 50 Indianapolis Colts.
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 National Football League.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.
Last year, the Colts went 8-9 and missed the playoffs for the fourth straight year. There were no new entrants, and two elevations.
As always, we present our top five, which remain unchanged.
1. Peyton Manning
2. Johnny Unitas
3. Gino Marchetti
4. Marvin Harrison
5. Raymond Berry
You can find the entire list here.
Offensive Lineman and seven-time Pro Bowl Selection Quenton Nelson rose to #15 from #22.
The only new entrant was Center Ryan Kelly, who is now with the Minnesota Vikings. He debuts at #45.
We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.
Winning three National Championships at the University of Alabama, Ryan Kelly was the top Center chosen in the 2016 Draft (18th Overall), with the team that drafted him hoping that they found their new Jeff Saturday. That wasn’t the case, but Kelly gave the Indianapolis Colts eight solid seasons.
Kelly started all of his 121 Games with Indy. Earning four Pro Bowls, Kelly provided the Colts an excellent centerpiece to build out from, though the Colts' brass was unable to assemble a Super Bowl-contending team while Kelly was there. He departed as a Free Agent in 2025 for the Minnesota Vikings.
