Daniel Jones making rookie tight end look like the NFL's next big thing

Former Duke football quarterback Daniel Jones has revived his career as an NFL starter with the Indianapolis Colts, following his release from the New York Giants midway through the 2024 season. Now, through his stellar play, Jones is making Colts rookie tight end Tyler Warren look like the NFL's next star at the position. Warren is putting up record-setting numbers through his first two games as a member of the Colts, and much of that production is credited to his quarterback. Jones received a significant amount of backlash from fans and insiders around the league after Indianapolis elected to start him over Anthony Richardson, the former Florida Gator whom Indianapolis drafted fourth overall in the 2023 NFL Draft.
