Colts’ Warren, Steichen Could Take Home Top NFL Awards

Warren is the first tight end in NFL history with 75+ receiving yards in his first two games. In Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins, Warren proved his value by hauling in seven catches for 76 yards. He followed that up the subsequent week by catching four passes for 79 yards against an elite Denver Broncos secondary.

The rookie is already moving up the record books as he surpassed T.Y. Hilton for the most yards by a first-year player in their first two games in Colts franchise history. It's still early, but Warren has looked like a home run pick from general manager Chris Ballard.

Warren only needs 28 more receiving yards to pass Indy's top tight end from last year, Kylen Granson. Although he's yet to get in the end zone, it's only a matter of time until Steichen dials up a play call for Warren inside the red zone.

As for Steichen himself, DraftKings lists him as a +550 favorite to bring home Coach of the Year. Steichen's line has seen heavy movement, with the Colts' lead man being listed as +700 just one day ago.

Joining Steichen at the top are Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur, Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon, and Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh. All four coaches have led their teams to an early 2-0 start and will look to bring home a division title by the end of the year.

The last team to win both OROY and COY in the same season was the Dallas Cowboys in 2016, when Dak Prescott took home the former and Jason Garrett the latter.

In the preseason, most imagined Steichen on the hot seat after choosing Daniel Jones as the team's starting quarterback. Instead, after only two games, Steichen's name is already being vindicated.

The Colts have looked like an offensive powerhouse, becoming the only team to not punt in their first two games of the season. Indianapolis put points on the board in its first 10 drives of the season thanks to methodical play calling from Steichen and perfect execution from Jones.

The Colts will continue their 2025 campaign this weekend with their first AFC South matchup of the year against the Tennessee Titans. Steichen has won all four of the games he's coaches against Tennessee.
