Okay, so I wanted to dive into something I’ve been digging into lately: the all-time greatest tight ends for the Colts. This got me thinking, and I started to compile a list, you know, just to see who really stood out over the years.
First, I started gathering names, which was a trip down memory lane. I went through old game records, articles, and even some old forum posts. It was kind of like being a detective, piecing together bits of information from different places. It was pretty fun, to be honest, seeing all those names from different eras.
- Looked up stats from way back when.
- Checked out some fan-made lists to see what others thought.
- Compared a whole bunch of data to make sure I wasn’t missing anyone.
After I had a decent list, I started to rank them. This was the tricky part. How do you compare players from different decades? It’s not just about the numbers, right? So, I dug deeper into their impact on the team, their roles in big games, and what people said about them back in the day. I even watched some old game footage. It’s pretty wild how the game has changed, but you could still see the greatness in these guys.
The Rough Ranking
I jotted down notes about each player, sort of like making a case for why they should be considered one of the best. Then I started moving them up and down my list, debating with myself about who was better and why. I did not set a standard to limit the number of players, as long as they were good enough I’d put them on my list. It felt a bit like those sports shows where they argue about the top ten players, but it was just me, myself, and I having the debate!
Finally, I had my list. It’s not perfect, and I’m sure some folks will disagree, but that’s part of the fun, right? It’s all about sparking that conversation and remembering some awesome players. And who knows, maybe this will get people talking about who the next great Colts tight end will be. I even saw that this guy Bowers is the overall TE1 right now, that’s wild! Maybe he’s the next great one, as the latest players prepare to report to Anderson University. But we’ll see what happens when OTAs begin and the teams start preparing for the regular season.
This whole thing was a blast. It made me appreciate the history of the team and the sport even more. Plus, it’s always fun to make lists and rank things, especially when it’s something you’re passionate about.
