Colts tight end Kylen Granson is bringing his big-play mentality to the team’s offense in 2021

When talking with several Colts rookies Thursday afternoon, rookie tight end Kylen Granson didn’t shy away after being asked about his big-play ability.

“Oh, yeah. 100%,” Granson said. “Coming from a wide receiver standpoint, at SMU, that’s all I did was stretch the field, get the mismatch on the outside and on the inside.”

It’s easy to see why Chris Ballard and Frank Reich are excited about Granson’s abilities. Ever since the departure of Eric Ebron, the team has been in search for a tight end who can help create big plays and stretch the field vertically.
