On Friday of the NFL combine, the tight ends were one of the position groups to go through the on-field testing portion of the event. Will we see the Indianapolis Colts add to the tight end position in this year’s NFL draft?
The Colts are positioned well here with Tyler Warren, but adding a blocking presence to pair with him could be on Chris Ballard’s radar. Mo Alie-Cox and/or Drew Ogltree could be brought back to fill that role again, or the Colts could look for a younger, higher upside prospect.
