Manning was joined on the team by six teammates, including wide receiver Marvin Harrison, running back Edgerrin James, center Jeff Saturday, defensive end Dwight Freeney, linebacker Cato June and safety Bob Sanders. Indianapolis had an AFC conference-high seven representatives on the squad, the most of any team.
