Our All-Time Top 50 Indianapolis Colts Have Been Revised to Reflect the 2023 Season

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 have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2023 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 failed to make the playoffs, but we saw one new entrant and one elevation.

As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes:

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 six-time Pro Bowl Selection Quenton Nelson, advances to #22 from #30.

The lone new entry is Center Ryan Kelly, who debuts at #45.

Notably, Shaquille Leonard, who played half last season with Indianapolis, could not rise from his rank of #40.

Buddy Young fell out of the Top 50.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

46. Cam Robinson

Playing his first seven years at Offensive Tackle, Cam Robinson started all 91 games that he played for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Robinson, who came to the club as a Second-Round Pick from Alabama, won a National Championship with the Crimson Tide, the Outland Trophy, and was a Unanimous All-American.

Robinson was traded during the 2024 Season to Minnesota.

16. Josh Hines-Allen

Selected seventh overall out of Kentucky in the 2019 NFL Draft, Josh Hines-Allen arrived in North Florida fresh off a dominant senior season that saw him sweep the Chuck Bednarik Award, Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Jack Lambert Trophy, and SEC Defensive Player of the Year honors. He made an immediate splash as a rookie, leading all Jaguars pass rushers with 10.5 sacks—a franchise rookie record—to earn PFWA All-Rookie Team honors and become the first rookie in Jacksonville history to earn a Pro Bowl selection.

After a knee injury curtailed his second season, Hines-Allen rebounded to establish himself as the undisputed cornerstone of Jacksonville's defense. Formerly known simply as Josh Allen before changing his surname in 2024 to honor his maternal family legacy, his explosive peak arrived during a historic 2023 campaign. That year, he set a single-season franchise record with 17.5 sacks alongside 17 tackles for loss, 33 quarterback hits, and two forced fumbles, earning his second Pro Bowl nod.

Hines-Allen maintained his steady backfield pressure over the next two years, posting identical 8.0-sack campaigns in both 2024 and 2025. During the 2024 season, he reached 50 career sacks and tied Yannick Ngakoue's franchise record with four consecutive seasons of at least 7.0 sacks. He followed that up with an even more impactful 2025 campaign, starting all 17 games, recording 12 tackles for loss, 28 quarterback hits, and racking up 80 total pressures (fourth in the NFL) to power Jacksonville back to a 13–4 record and the AFC South title. Most notably, on November 16, 2025, against the Chargers, he registered his 56th career sack to surpass Tony Brackens as Jacksonville's all-time sack leader. Entering the 2026 season firmly in his prime at age 29, the franchise icon stands as the standard-bearer for Jacksonville's pass rush.

Hines-Allen enters the 2026 season with high expectations for both himself and the Jaguars, and he should substantially add to his 61 sacks and 75 tackles for loss.

21. Trevor Lawrence

Selected first overall in the 2021 NFL Draft following a legendary collegiate career at Clemson—where he won a national championship and went 34–2 as a starter—Trevor Lawrence arrived in North Florida heralded as a generational, franchise-altering talent. Thrust into a tumultuous rookie environment under Urban Meyer, Lawrence faced immediate baptism by fire. Despite leading the NFL with 17 interceptions during a 3–14 campaign, he showcased flashes of the arm strength, poise, and mobility that made him the consensus top pick.

In 2022, Lawrence led a swift and impressive turnaround, throwing for 4,113 yards, 25 touchdowns, and only eight interceptions. This performance earned him his first Pro Bowl selection and helped Jacksonville secure the AFC South title. His postseason highlight was a remarkable comeback against the Chargers, overcoming a four-interception start to erase a 27–0 deficit—the third-largest comeback in NFL playoff history. Despite injuries in 2023 and 2024, Lawrence showed resilience and raw talent, consistently keeping Jacksonville in the game despite relentless backfield pressure.

At an arguable crossroads year in 2025, Lawrence put together a magnificent rebound during a dominant season that cemented his place among the league's elite quarterbacks. Commanding an explosive Jaguars offense, he completed 60.9% of his passes for 4,007 yards, a career-high 29 passing touchdowns, and 12 interceptions, while adding 359 rushing yards and nine touchdowns on the ground. He orchestrated five game-winning drives, powering Jacksonville to an impressive 13–4 record and another AFC South title, and earned a fifth-place finish in the AP NFL MVP voting and fourth in Comeback Player of the Year.

As the franchise enters the 2026 season, Lawrence stands firmly in his prime as the unquestioned leader and cornerstone of the organization. Equipped with elite physical tools, extensive playoff experience, and a lucrative long-term contract extension, the 26-year-old quarterback has elevated the Jaguars from an expansion-era rebuild into a perennial championship contender in the AFC. 

To date, Lawrence has thrown for 98 touchdowns and 17,822 yards.
