Tyler Warren spoke on his memory of Colts legend Dallas Clark due to him wearing the same jersey number

Tyler Warren's thoughts on Colts TE Dallas Clark 

Warren was asked why he wears the number 44, and to the dismay of Colts fans, it isn't for Dallas Clark. He shared that the reason he wears 44 is actually because his father used to show him film of former NFL running back John Riggins and tell him that's how he should run the football. 

He was asked directly about Clark, though, and he certainly remembers watching him dominate on the field with Peyton Manning. Here is what Warren had to say: "Growing up, I knew the name and knew him playing with Peyton Manning, Reggie Wayne, and those guys. That’s a good example to have the 44 tight end. He’s a great player."

The Colts drafted Clark with the 24th pick in the 2003 NFL Draft. He played for the franchise from 2003- to 2011 and recorded 427 catches for 4,887 yards and 46 touchdowns. His best season came in 2009 when he caught 100 passes for 1,106 yards and 10 touchdowns. 

His college career at Iowa saw him record two solid seasons where he recorded a total of 1,251 yards and eight touchdowns. Warren nearly surpassed those numbers in just one year, recording 1,233 yards and eight touchdowns. So, him joining Clark in the elite club of TEs to be drafted in the first round seems very likely. And who knows, maybe it'll be to the same team with the Colts owning pick 14.
