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.
