Bill Polian takes his place among legends

Colts owner Jim Irsay, Peyton Manning and Tony Dungy on hand to see NFL executive enshrined in Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Bill Polian took his place in football immortality Saturday night, entering the Pro Football Hall of Fame with so many of his Indianapolis Colts on hand to celebrate his induction in Canton, Ohio.

While the six-time NFL Executive of the Year was an architect of the Colts, Buffalo Bills and Carolina Panthers, it was his time in Indianapolis that put the stamp on a 32-year NFL career.

His enshrinement became the first of likely many Indianapolis Colts reunions in Canton, where Polian’s bronze bust is expected to be joined by quarterback Peyton Manning, wide receiver Marvin Harrison and perhaps others, kicker Adam Vinatieri, head coach Tony Dungy, running back Edgerrin James and wide receiver Reggie Wayne.
