2015 Hall of Fame finalist: Marvin Harrison

Is the second time the charm for former Indianapolis Colts receiver Marvin Harrison?

He’ll find out Saturday whether he’ll be part of the Pro Football Hall of Fame's class of 2015.

Harrison’s one of the 18 Hall of Fame finalists.

Harrison was a finalist last year. Longtime Colts reporter Mike Chappell, who has covered the team since it moved to Indianapolis in 1984, will speak to the 46-member voting committee on Harrison’s behalf Saturday.

Harrison is third in NFL history in receptions, fifth in touchdown receptions and seventh in receiving yards. He had eight straight 1,000-yard seasons, went to the playoffs 10 times and won a Super Bowl in 2006.

The accolades don’t stop there for Harrison. He was named All-Pro three times, selected to eight Pro Bowls and was named to the NFL’s All-Decade team for the 2000s.

“That was Marvin for you,” former Colts general manager Bill Polian said last year. “His unique ability at his size to get open and continue to play for as long as he played is witness to his phenomenal athletic ability, great hands and work habit. He’s [an] extremely, extremely gifted athlete. Far more than people realize because he’s made it look so easy. He was a clutch performer.”

The Colts terminated the final three years of Harrison's contract in February 2009 because he didn't want to take a pay cut.
