The Indianapolis Colts won't be playing today in the Super Bowl.

The Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs are set to square off to be crowned the winners of Super Bowl LIX. No matter who wins, though, some notable former Colts will get a ring this year. 

Former Colts on the Eagles

The most notable former Colts player with the Eagles is corner Isaiah Rodgers. The Colts drafted Rodgers in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He quickly carved out a role on special teams and earned more time on defense over the years. He became a major fan favorite in Indianapolis, but his time with the team came to an end after a gambling scandal landed him suspended by the NFL and later released by the team. He has been able to move past that mistake, though, and has appeared in 15 games for the Eagles this season and will dress for the Super Bowl.

The most notable Chiefs player who formerly played for the Colts is quarterback Carson Wentz. Wentz was the Colts' starting QB in 2021 after the team traded for the former Eagles QB. He had an up-and-down season in Indianapolis that ended with them losing out on the playoffs after a disastrous final-week loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, who were the worst team in the league that season. He is now Patrick Mahomes' backup in Kansas City. He appeared in three games this year and made one start in place of Mahomes.
