Colts’ Michael Pittman Jr. puts Tyler Warren through off-field ‘test’

WESTFIELD, Ind. (WISH) — Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. was asked about his impressions of rookie tight end Tyler Warren.

Instead of talking about the talent that Warren has shown on the field, Pittman went with an off-the-field story.

“Funny story about that is, on the first day of camp, I called him to take me to Meijer because I needed a coffee machine,” Pittman said. “My car was there, I just wanted to see if he’d take me. And he just said ‘Alright.’ And then he came down and took me within five minutes. I was like, this guy right here is a team guy. I think he’s great.”

“My car was sitting right there,” Pittman said. “But I just tested him to see if he would take me. So then I called him and he was downstairs in less than five minutes and took me to Meijer and I got a little coffee machine.”

Pittman did not make Warren pay for the coffee machine.

Warren has drawn rave reviews from other teammates as well.

“You can tell he’s going to be really good,” Colts safety Camryn Bynum said. “He’s one of those guys that if you didn’t tell me that he just got drafted, I wouldn’t know. He operates as a veteran. He can do a lot. Obviously we haven’t been in pads yet, but I can tell he can block just by his footwork and just the intent that he has. But also his route running and yards after the catch is going to be elite, and I can tell that from him now. So it’s cool being able to go against him, and being able to go against him in practice is going to prepare us to go against any tight end in the game.”

Warren made a one-handed catch at training camp on Saturday, which received an applause from the fans. The Colts rookie is appreciative off all the support he’s received in Indianpolis.

“It’s been awesome,” Warren said. “I really have enjoyed Indy since I got here and really like the area. The fans have been great. Out here we’ve had great support the first two days and it’s been awesome just being in the city.”

The Colts return to the practice field during training camp on Monday, with practice from 10-11:15 a.m.
