With all due respect to eight-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Marvin Harrison and seven-time Pro Bowl running back Marshall Faulk, Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning was the most important player drafted by late Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay.

Jim Irsay, the owner of the Indianapolis Colts and the man who oversaw one of the greatest eras in franchise history including a victory in Super Bowl XLI, died in his sleep Wednesday afternoon. He was 65.

When news of the passing of Jim Irsay, 65, hit the internet, many of the people and organizations he touched shared their condolences and memories.
