With the 2023 regular season coming to an end, the AP first and second-team All-Pro rosters have been released. 

And for the Indianapolis Colts, they didn't have a single player named to either this year. 

The Colts exceeded most people's expectations this season. Winning nine games after only being able to win four a year ago. While first-year head coach Shane Steichen deserves a ton of credit for this turnaround, multiple star players had incredible seasons that weren't rewarded with an All-Pro spot. 

The team's lone Pro Bowler was LG Quenton Nelson, who was fantastic this season. He is the leader of a Colts offensive line that graded out as a top-five unit in the entire league this season. But he wasn't named an All-Pro as he fell behind Kansas City Chiefs Joe Thuney and Dallas Cowboys Tyler Smith. 

Other notable Colts players who had incredible seasons that weren't named to the Pro Bowl or an All-Pro list were LB Zaire Franklin (2nd in the NFL in tackles) and DT DeForest Buckner.
