INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts selected Penn State tight end Tyler Warren with the 14th pick in the NFL draft Thursday night, filling a void they have had since Jack Doyle retired after the 2021 season.
The most glaring offensive need heading into this offseason was the lack of a play-making tight end. Indy has not had a tight end crack the 500-yard mark in a single season since Eric Ebron in 2018. The Colts ranked 17th in the league last season with 22.2 points and finished 25th in passing yards at 197.7 per game.
If Warren becomes the dynamic, versatile player he was last season at Penn State, the Colts will have more than a security-blanket type receiver over the middle.
