WR Raymond Berry (1955-1967)

The next spot on the Colts’ all-time Mount Rushmore goes to another wide receiver, but this one played in the franchise’s Baltimore days. Raymond Berry was one of the NFL’s most accomplished wide receivers in the 1950s and ’60s as he formed a beautiful connection with Johnny Unitas.

Baltimore drafted Berry in the 20th round of the 1955 draft and he was considered a huge long-shot to actually make the team. Berry ended up making the team as a reserve and contributed sparingly as a rookie, but everything changed when Unitas arrived.

Unitas and Berry became the deadliest duo in the NFL, which was headlined by Berry’s performance in the 1958 NFL Championship Game, which is widely referred to as the greatest game ever played. Berry snagged 12 passes for 178 yards and a touchdown in the Colts’ 23-17 win over the New York Giants.

At the time of his retirement in 1967, Berry held the NFL’s all-time records for receptions and receiving yards. The six-time All-Pro made the Hall of Fame was eventually named a member of the NFL’s 75th and 100th-anniversary teams.
