Colts top 5 centers: From Jeff Saturday to Jay Leeuwenburg

IndyStar is ranking the top 10 (or so) players at each position in Indianapolis Colts history. Today, we're looking at centers. With only one center (as opposed to a pair of guards and tackles), only five are being ranked. These five centers have started roughly 80% of the games at the position since 1984:

1. Jeff Saturday

An undrafted free agent in 1999, Saturday earned two starts as a rookie at guard then started at center 200 times over the next 12 seasons. He earned Pro Bowl berths in 2005, '06, '07, '09 and '10, and was All-Pro in 2005 and '07.
