Overview

• Warren caught three passes for 40 yards against the Ravens in Week 1 and earned top rookie marks from Pro Football Focus and an ‘A’ grade from NFL.com’s Chad Reuter.
• Head coach Shane Steichen compared him to Antonio Gates after deploying him as a pass catcher, run blocker and motion tight end in multiple personnel groupings.
• His rapid rise to the first spot on Indianapolis’ unofficial depth chart underscores the team’s confidence in his 6-foot-6, 256-pound frame and adaptability.
• A former Penn State standout, he signed a fully guaranteed rookie contract following a senior year with 104 catches for over 1,200 yards and eight touchdowns.
• Analysts caution that preseason grades are provisional and Warren must sustain his production through remaining exhibition games and into the regular season.
