Broncos Treat Colts Rookie Tyler Warren as Key Matchup After Week 1 Breakout

Denver coaches cite Taysom Hill–like versatility, elevating him to a focal point of their Week 2 preparation.

Overview

  • The Colts’ first-round tight end opened with seven catches for 76 yards on a team-high nine targets in his NFL debut.
  • Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph compared Warren to Taysom Hill, noting he can run, throw, catch and block as an all-around weapon.
  • Head coach Sean Payton said Indianapolis has a defined approach for Warren and indicated Wildcat snaps are likely at some point this season, prompting Denver to prepare for that look.
  • Reigning Defensive Player of the Year Pat Surtain II called Warren very dynamic and stressed the need to contain his big-play ability once the ball is in his hands.
  • Indianapolis drafted Warren No. 14 overall, and Denver’s defense that allowed just 112 passing yards in Week 1 views him as a specific matchup to game-plan against.
