Answer: Texas

Rhodes started all 16 regular season games and Addai came in off the bench. However Addai started all 4 playoff games and Rhodes came off the bench. Addai became the first back in NFL history to gain 1,000 yards and not start a single game. He gained 1,086 yards in 2006. Rhodes totaled 641 yards in the 2006 regular season.

However, during the postseason, Rhodes edged out Addai 306 yards to 294 yards.

9. Which of the following Colts was not a first round draft pick?

Answer: Bob Sanders

Sanders was drafted in 2004 with a 2nd round pick, the 44th overall. The Colts had no 1st round pick that year, so Sanders was their top pick that year. He makes the Colts a better team just by stepping on the field. Clark, Morris, and Glenn were 1st round picks in 2003, 2000, and 1997 respectively.

Answer: Philadelphia

Marvin has been a very private superstar. He doesn't do many interviews or seek the spotlight, so most Colts fans don't know much about him. All we really know is he is from Philly and goes all out in every practice and game, he catches every ball thrown his way and he always gets his feet down in bounds.
