Not surprisingly, ESPN has picked the Indianapolis Colts as a favorite team fit for Penn State tight end Tyler Warren.
Matt Bowen recently picked his ideal landing spot for the top 20 prospects in this year's NFL draft, and paired the Colts with Warren.
"In Indianapolis, Warren would open up the middle of the field in the pass game," wrote Bowen. "He would also give coach Shane Steichen more opportunities to script matchups out of 11 and 12 personnel groupings."
The Colts very much need a pass-catching presence at tight end, which Warren would help provide. Last season, he totaled over 100 receptions and over 1,200 receiving yards.
However, his impact goes well beyond that facet of the game. As Bowen notes, Warren's presence could help open up opportunities for others. He's also versatile, able to line up across the formation, and is a very capable run-blocker as well.
That do-it-all skill set would add some unpredictability to the Colts' offense and open up new parts of the playbook for Shane Steichen.
"He reminds me of George Kittle on tape," added Bowen. "He can work multiple levels as a receiver, and he's a rugged mover after the catch. Warren will secure the edges as a run blocker, too. He'd be a great fit with Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson."
The Colts are reportedly one of six teams holding a private workout for Warren.
