Colts Superbowl winning coach Tony Dungy and one of Peyton’s favorite targets Marvin Harrison have made the first cut for NFL’s Hall of Fame Class of 2014.
Dungy posted a 139-69 record in 13 years as a head coach with Tampa Bay and Indianapolis. He won 85 games against just 27 losses in seven years with the Colts from 2002-08, coaching Indianapolis to the Super Bowl XLI championship in Miami. Harrison played all 13 seasons with Indianapolis after 1,102 catches in 190 career games during his career.
The Colts drafted Harrison in the first round of the 1996 NFL Draft out of Syracuse University. He was named to the Pro Bowl team eight times in his career.
