The best receiver in franchise history was drafted 19th overall in the 1996 Draft and his name is Marvin Harrison. He played 13 seasons in the league and they all were with Indianapolis.

Harrison was a pretty good receiver for his first three seasons, posting 836, 866, and 776 receiving yards respectively. However, he ascended to an elite level in his fourth season and never looked back.

In 1999, Harrison caught 115 passes for a league-leading 1,663 yards and 12 touchdowns. That earned Harrison his first trip to the Pro Bowl and he was named First-team All-Pro.

Harrison would go to seven straight Pro Bowls following that year, making it eight in a row. He also had more than 1,100 receiving yards in all of those seasons.

As the No. 1 receiver for Peyton Manning and the Colts, Harrison spent his entire career in Indianapolis dominating for over a decade.

He ultimately played 190 games in his career and caught 1,102 passes for 14,580 yards and 128 touchdowns. All No. 1 in franchise history.
