2. Reggie Wayne, Colts

If you’re the Colts, you could almost flip a coin for these last two spots, right?

It’s tough to pick between Reggie Wayne and (spoiler alert) Marvin Harrison, but call this 1a and 1b if you want to split hairs.

Reggie Wayne was so good for the Colts, and if you grew up rooting for any team that ever played the Colts, you probably hated his guts.

From 2001-2010 (years Wayne and Manning played together with the Colts), Wayne had over 10,000 receiving yards with 69 touchdown catches in the regular season, and another nine touchdown grabs in postseason play.

Imagine developing 10 years of chemistry with a receiver as crafty as Wayne.

The guy knew how to get open, and he had seven straight seasons from 2004-2010 with over 1,000 yards receiving.

He was so much more than just a stat sheet filler, though. Wayne was the type of guy who drove defenses crazy by making tough catch after tough catch. He was also clutch in the playoffs and helped the Colts win their only title with Manning at the helm in the 2006 season.
