Overview

  • The Colts selected Warren with the No. 14 overall pick after his 2024 Penn State season yielded 104 receptions and 1,233 receiving yards.
  • ESPN’s Ben Solak reports the team believes Warren could lead Indianapolis in targets and replicate Brock Bowers’ 2024 rookie output.
  • Head coach Shane Steichen praised Warren’s physicality in training camp, highlighting his blocking prowess and yards-after-catch ability.
  • Warren is set to feature on third downs, in the red zone and during two-minute drills but is expected to carry heavy blocking responsibilities that may limit his route opportunities.
  • Analysts say Warren’s health and early regular-season production will be critical to expanding his route share and cementing him as the Colts’ long-term solution at tight end.
