All five went undrafted and made the opening-day roster in Indianapolis anyway, part of a remarkable streak of 22 years with an undrafted rookie on the squad. The streak is the longest in the NFL, such a part of Colts lore that the team uses it as a marketing pitch in the frenzied battle for undrafted free agents after th...
