Smith knows a thing or two about tight ends, and he especially knows about Penn State tight ends. For the past two years, Smith has coached Pat Freiermuth, Warren's predecessor in State College, and coordinated an offense that has seen Freiermuth score nine touchdowns and average 10.5 yards per reception. Meanwhile in Indianapolis, Warren is making a splash in his first season in the league. The first-round pick leads the Colts with 492 receiving yards and has three touchdowns.
Ja'Tavion Sanders believes that he and rookie Mitchell Evans will lead a dynamic tight end group for the Panthers, bringing new energy and matchup challenges to defenses.
