I’ve done some research and have found players who played on both the Steelers and Colts.
Eric Ebron
Eric Ebron was selected as the 10th overall pick in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions. The 6’4″ 250-pound tight end also played for the Indianapolis Colts and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
He was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2018 while playing for the Colts, a season in which he caught 66 passes for 750 yards and 13 touchdowns.
During his career, Ebron totaled 3,837 receiving yards and 33 touchdowns on 351 receptions. Known for his size, speed, and playmaking ability, Ebron was a valuable red-zone target and an effective chain mover throughout his career.

Darrius Heyward-Bey
Darrius Heyward-Bey is a former wide receiver known for his exceptional speed and athleticism. He was drafted by the Oakland Raiders with the seventh overall pick in the first round of the 2009 NFL Draft.
Heyward-Bey spent four seasons with the Raiders but never quite lived up to the high expectations that came with his draft position. After leaving the Raiders, he signed with the Indianapolis Colts for a single season in 2013, where he was mostly used as a depth option.
In 2014, he joined the Pittsburgh Steelers and managed to rejuvenate his career to some extent. Though not a primary target, he became a valuable special teams player and occasionally contributed as a wide receiver.
Najeh Davenport
Najeh Davenport was drafted in the fourth round (135th overall) of the 2002 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers. Davenport played college football at the University of Miami, where he was part of a talented Hurricanes team.
Davenport spent the early part of his NFL career with the Green Bay Packers, serving primarily as a backup running back and special teams contributor. He was known for his power running style and had the ability to break off big runs.
After four seasons with the Packers, he joined the Pittsburgh Steelers for two years, contributing to their Super Bowl XL victory. While not a “star”, he was a reliable contributor throughout his career, racking up over 1,800 rushing yards and 13 rushing touchdowns.
