The Indianapolis Colts will induct former All-Pro tight end Dallas Clark into the franchise's Ring of Honor during the 2024 season.
Owner Jim Irsay announced via social media Monday that Clark will be the latest inductee to receive a blue jacket.
Clark is the franchise leader for receptions and touchdowns at the tight end position after spending nine seasons wearing the horseshoe.
A game-breaking tight end. Our all-time franchise leader in receptions and TDs for that position. One of the toughest men I've ever seen play the game. And the epitome of a Colt off the field. That's why I'm excited to announce DALLAS CLARK as our 2024 Ring of Honor inductee💪 pic.twitter.com/CNUs30kaiU

Clark spent nine seasons with the Colts (2003-2012) after being selected as the No. 24 overall pick in the 2003 NFL Draft.
During his tenure with the Colts, he recorded 427 receptions for 4,887 yards and 46 touchdowns. His best season came in 2009 when he earned Pro Bowl and All-Pro First Team honors. He recorded 100 receptions for 1,106 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Since the Colts moved to Indianapolis, Clark is the only tight end in franchise history to record 100 receptions or 1,000 yards in a season. He was also the fourth player in franchise history to record both 100 receptions and 1,000 yards in a season—Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne each did it four times, and Michael Pittman Jr. did it in 2023.
The Colts didn't induct any player into the Ring of Honor during the 2023 season, but this is well-deserved for the franchise's greatest tight end.
