We got our first look at Indianapolis Colts first-round pick, Tyler Warren, and sixth-round pick, Riley Leonard, in their full uniforms during the NFLPA’s Rookie Premiere event.
In total, there were 42 attendees at this year’s event, with 40 of them being either quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, or tight ends. The lone defenders at the event were defensive ends Abdul Carter and Mykel Williams.
“The Premiere is one of the most valuable opportunities available to NFLPA partners as it’s the first point of contact to connect directly with professional football’s most promising and marketable young players – at a single unique event – to build content and relationships for the season and beyond,” per the NFLPA site.
The addition of Warren to the Colts‘ offense will provide the offense with needed pass-catching help from the tight end position. But his well-rounded skill set will allow him to impact the game in a variety of ways.
With Leonard, he will have the opportunity to develop and continue to grow this season behind Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones. Leonard was on the Colts’ radar throughout the pre-draft process and could become a long-term backup option for the team.
