The Indianapolis Colts are a professional football team based in Indianapolis, Indiana. They are a member of the American Football Conference and compete in the South Division. In 1953, a Baltimore-based group led by Carroll Rosenbloom won the rights to a new Baltimore football franchise. Rosenbloom was granted an NFL team, and was awarded the holdings of the defunct Dallas Texans organization. The team was known as the Baltimore Colts for 31 seasons before moving to Indianapolis in March 1984.[1]
Records on this list include players from both cities where the Colts have competed, as the team's history transferred to Indianapolis when they relocated.
