Colts name Edgerrin James honorary captain for AFC title game vs. Jets

Last week it was the Saints, this week the Colts are turning to a former star running back for inspiration.

The Colts have named four-time Pro Bowler Edgerrin James an honorary captain for Sunday's AFC title game against the Jets.

James played seven seasons in Indianapolis from 1999-2005. The year after he left, the Colts won Super Bowl XLI -- and later awarded him a Super Bowl ring.

James is the franchise's all-time leading rusher with 9,226 yards.

Last week, the Saints re-signed RB Deuce McAllister to a contract and then made him an inactive honorary captain in their win against the Cardinals. McAllister then announced his retirement this week.
