The longest-tenured member of the Colts is no longer center Ryan Kelly, who on Wednesday agreed to terms with the Minnesota Vikings.
Kelly, a first-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, played the last nine seasons for the Colts, making him the franchise's longest-tenured player. On Wednesday, Colts Owner and CEO Jim Irsay released a statement on the four-time Pro Bowl center:
Kelly, who started 121 games for the Colts from 2016-2024, earned Pro Bowl nods in 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2023. He was named a second-team AP All-Pro in 2020.
The longest-tenured member of the Colts now is long snapper Luke Rhodes, who has played in 135 games since making his Colts debut in Week 14 of the 2016 season.
