Who were the shining stars from the most important eras of Indianapolis Colts football? It's time to settle that on today's episode with Stampede Blue's Zach Hicks as we discuss the top five players drafted during the Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck eras.

Bill Polian is in the Hall of Fame for a reason, especially when you realize all the homegrown talent that succeeded long-term in Indianapolis. From Manning to a dynamic receiver and pass rush duo, the Colts were at the peak of their powers with all the firepower on both sides of the ball.

During Luck's career with the Colts, it didn't start off well with elite talent surrounding him as Ryan Grigson fumbled away the first five or so years of his career before Chris Ballard saved the day. Outside of Luck and T.Y. Hilton, who makes the cut for best selections during this timeframe?

Follow along with your own lists for both eras and leave them wherever you're listening at! This was definitely a fun episode to reminisce on the good old days.
