On Wednesday, the PFWA announced that Indianapolis Colts first-year tight end was named to their 2025 All-Rookie Team:
Itâs the latest league debut honor for the Colts prized 23-year-old tight end, who was also recently named to this yearâs Pro Bowl games as well.
Having been selected by the Colts with the 14th overall pick in this past yearâs NFL Draft, Warren instantly made a meaningful impact for Indy, catching 76 receptions for 817 total receiving yards and 4 touchdown receptions during all 17 games (12 starts). He also added a rushing touchdown, playing fullback along the goal line.
His offensive versatility, with his ability to catch, run, and blockâwhile lining up everywhere, added some new interesting wrinkles to head coach Shane Steichenâs offense, which was the leagueâs best until key injuries struck.
Of course, Warren will likely always be compared career wise to Chicago Bears fellow graduated rookie tight end Colston Loveland, who was taken just a few spots before him in the first round. Loveland caught fire down the stretch and appears to be well on his way to earning Pro Bowl honors himself with 58 receptions for 713 total receiving yards and 6 touchdown receptions during 16 games (11 starts) for the reigning NFC North Champions.
That being said, it was Warren, who won out for the rookie honors here. The Colts appear to have gotten a really good one, if his debut campaign was any clear indication! One has to think that Warren will only improve in Year 2.
