Longest Tenured Colts Starters

by shake n bake on May 11, 2009 8:00 PM EDT in Colts Analysis

That Raheem Brock could be a starter for 6 seasons and not get much in the way of recognition got me thinking about how long guys have been key contributors of the Colts.

Peyton Manning 11 Seasons (176 starts)*
Jeff Saturday 9 Seasons (140 starts)
Reggie Wayne 7 Seasons (112 starts)
Ryan Diem 7 Seasons (108 starts)
Dwight Freeney 7 Seasons (89 starts)
Raheem Brock 6 Seasons (96 starts)
Dallas Clark 6 Seasons (79 starts)
Robert Mathis 5 Seasons (31 starts)
Gary Brackett 4 Seasons (59 starts)
Bob Sanders 4 Seasons (43 starts)
Antoine Bethea 3 Seasons (43 starts)*
Marlin Jackson 3 Seasons (32 starts)
Joseph Addai 3 Seasons (27 starts)
Adam Vinatieri 3 Seasons (Kicker)
Kelvin Hayden 2 Seasons (27 starts)
Charlie Johnson 2 Seasons (27 starts)
Tony Ugoh 2 Seasons (23 starts)
Anthony Gonzalez 2 Seasons (11 starts)
Keyunta Dawson 1 Season (18 starts)
Clint Session 1 Season (16 starts)
Gijon Robinson 1 Season (14 starts)
Mike Pollak 1 Season (13 starts)
Eric Foster 1 Season (11 starts)
Melvin Bullitt 1 Season (9 starts)

Kelvin Hayden...

Has been here at least 3 seasons right? He was with the Colts in ’06 and made that legendary pick six to seal the game :)

he played in the nickel when Nick Harper was hurt

they were sliding Marlin Jackson inside even back then when he wasn’t a full time starter.

Whoops!

I was too dumb to see the GIGANTIC title with the word “starters” in it. Sorry about the fuss. Either way, awesome list that shows the kind of quality players we’ve come to love.

so with that impressive list peter king picks us 5th on his little predictions

peter king thinks the bears are the 4th best team. above the colts

Im happy he didnt put the colts at no.1 or no.2 because he is as bad as the sports illustrated jinx. I believe he picked the cowboys to play the jags in the superbowl. okay maybe he didnt take the bedazzlers but he pimped them so much during the summer it just seemed like it.

do I think the colts are really no. 5? I think they are one of the two or three best teams. NE no.1. is very questionable since their d has bigger problems than the colts. and lets see how tommy performs newly married. its not his knee that will be the downfall of him. its that nagging jungle women he just married. pitt. we know how hard it is to repeat in the NFL so pitt could pull a dallas. not as far but they overachieved in my mind last year. chicago ahead of the colts? pass the koolaid. the giants only because they lost that idiot reciever and huge injuries on the D line. but this team could very well be no. 1 if they get the reciever need filled by a rookie or somebody else

giants
colts

colts
giants

the bears at 4? and who is cutler going to get all these yards throwing to? underestimating denvers strength of an O line is a big mistake in predicting cutler just taking over a no wr offense he has in chicago and keep on producing like an all pro. huge descrepency in offensive talent there. dallas at 9 is a joke.

and cleveland last. even though I think they will have very few wins….I DONT THINK SO. detroit winning 4 games is like the BCS crowing utah the national champions over the gators
