People may remember when John Elway refused to report to the Baltimore Colts after they selected him first overall in 1983. Baltimore traded him to Denver, but it wasn’t all bad for the Colts, as they received a future seven-time Pro Bowler in return.

Baltimore would soon relocate to Indianapolis, and though the Colts weren’t very good at the time, Chris Hinton gave them a great piece to build an offensive line around. Later in his career as an Atlanta Falcon, he continued his Pro Bowl success and earned his first and only First Team All-Pro Selection in 1993.

Chris Hinton is the first man named to the Colts Ring of Honor to have played his career (predominantly) in Indianapolis. It was a well-deserved accolade.
