Colts TE celebrates first career touchdown with hilarious photo shoot

Indianapolis Colts tight end Kylen Granson had gone 31 games without scoring a touchdown, but that all changed in Sunday’s 31-20 win over the Houston Texans.

Granson kept the ball from the four-yard touchdown he scored in the second quarter of Sunday’s victory and chose to have a little fun commemorating the occasion, staging a photo shoot with his longtime girlfriend Daisy Foko and their “newborn baby.”

In addition to photos from the actual photo shoot, Granson also shared a behind-the-scenes video of how the photo shoot came about. The third-year tight end also responded to a comment saying he was surprised at how willing Foko was to go along with the bit.

“Dais is a good sport cuz I told her my idea & she immediately grabbed the tripod,” he wrote.

Granson ended Sunday’s game with three receptions, 16 yards and the score. He leads all Colts tight ends in targets (10), receptions (seven), yards (55) and touchdowns (one). He also has the second-most yards after the catch (39) of anyone on the team.

The 25-year-old SMU alum has progressively seen his workload increase since his rookie year in 2021. He totaled 31 receptions and 302 yards last season and is currently on pace for 59 receptions, 467 yards and eight touchdowns — all of which would be new career highs.
