Source transcript excerpt
the answer for the Colts this year is Tyler Warren. I think Tyler Warren is the one that is like the Brock Bowers light. He's in position to potentially be the de facto number one receiver there. He led the team last year as a rookie in targets in that offense... now that we're taking away Michael Pittman and 111 targets from him... he's one that I've actually decided to kind of break that rule for and take him in a bunch of spots in the fifth round this year.
