Rookie providing the team what they desperately needed.

TE Tyler Warren off to a hot start with 155 yards in first two games.

Two weeks into the season, we’re already witnessing the reasons behind the team’s decision to select TE Tyler Warren with the 14th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Warren has been nothing short of exceptional in the two games so far this season. In the two games, he has 11 catches, 155 yards, and no touchdowns, but he averages 14.1 yards per play. Warren’s receiving yards was the most by a Colts receiver in the first two games since TY Hilton, who had 128 yards. Warren leads all tight ends in receiving yards, with Brock Bowers in second with 141 yards.

After his outstanding performance against an elite Denver Broncos defense, where he had 4 catches and 79 yards, including a remarkable 41-yard reception. The Colts announced on X (formerly known as Twitter) that Warren was named “Rookie of the Week.”

The Colts employ Warren as a versatile weapon, utilizing him both as a tight end and a fullback. This strategic positioning has resulted in mismatches, effective run blocking, and a focal point in the passing game for screens and out-and-up routes. Warren’s physicality, football IQ, and ability to catch and run with the ball have solidified his role as a crucial component of the Colts’ offensive strategy. Based on his trajectory, he’s on track to have an exceptional season with 94 catches and 1318 receiving yards, which would put him in position to win “Offensive Rookie of the Year”.
