Overview

  • The four-time All-Pro said Warren "reminded me of myself" after watching Indianapolis’ preseason opener against Baltimore.
  • He cited a play-action over, a Julian Edelman–style whip route, and a 12-yard out as examples of Warren’s feel and separation.
  • Gronkowski noted Warren played roughly the first 20 snaps and logged three early catches, praising impact "on all levels of the field."
  • The 14th overall pick out of Penn State arrived with a Mackey Award and first-team All-America honors after leading the Nittany Lions’ passing attack.
  • Analysts see a receiving-focused role alongside Michael Pittman Jr., Alec Pierce and Josh Downs, with Daniel Jones favoring intermediate throws and Mo Alie-Cox expected to handle more blocking; Indianapolis opens Sept. 7 at Miami.
