Colts tight end Tyler Warren has been nominated for the NFL Rookie of the Week for Week 1. You can vote for Warren to receive the award by clicking here.
In his NFL debut on Sunday, Warren had seven receptions for 76 yards as the Colts beat the Miami Dolphins 33-8 in their first season-opening victory in 11 years. The 14th overall pick from the 2025 NFL Draft quickly made an impression as he was the target of two of quarterback Daniel Jones' first three throws of the game.
Warren also demonstrated his impressive physicality throughout the game, earning an 88.6 Pro Football Focus run blocking grade on 24 snaps. It was the highest PFF run block grade among tight ends with at least 10 blocking snaps in Week 1.
Along with Warren, Washington Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey, Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka and Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Demetrius Knight Jr. were nominated this week. The Week 1 Rookie of the Week will be announced on Thursday.
