WR Marvin Harrison (1996-2008)

We’ll start off the Colts’ Mount Rushmore with one of the franchise’s best wide receivers, Marvin Harrison. Indianapolis selected Harrison with the 19th overall pick in the 1996 NFL Draft and the choice paid immediate dividends.

Harrison became an immediate contributor in his first few years in the league, but his production hit another level when the Colts drafted Peyton Manning in 1998. Manning formed an instant connection with Harrison, who would become his go-to-guy for the rest of his career.

Harrison officially broke out in 1999, when he caught 115 passes for 1,663 yards and 12 touchdowns. That would be the first of eight consecutive 1,000-yard seasons for Harrison, who teamed with Manning, Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark to form the nucleus of Indianapolis’ Super Bowl championship squad in 2006.

Injuries and age took their toll on Harrison, who missed most of the 2007 season before posting career lows in 2008. That turned out to be Harrison’s final year as he quietly retired, with the eight-time All-Pro destined for the Hall of Fame and a place on the NFL’s 100th-anniversary team.
