INDIANAPOLIS — Whether it's been the top moments, games or teams, the National Football League has made sure to celebrate its 100th season in 2019 in style.
But one more key countdown remained to be finished — until tonight.
The NFL has now officially wrapped up its reveal of its "NFL 100 All-Time Team," a roster of 100 players and 10 coaches named "The Greatest" in their respective positions.
Before we get to the Colts' selections, here's how the process to select the NFL 100 All-Time team played out, according to NFL.com:
"The process to select and celebrate the historic team began in early 2018 with the appointment of a 26-person blue-ribbon voting panel made up of coaches, team and front office executives, former players and members of the media with a deep appreciation for the history of the League, its teams and players, as well as a commitment to research. Tune in to see the reveal of the 100 greatest players and 10 greatest coaches in league history as part of the continuing celebration of the NFL's 100th season."
Not surprisingly, the Colts are all over the NFL 100 All-Time team list; the franchise has 10 percent of its players (10) and its coaches (one).
