Colts Deploy Rookie TE Tyler Warren In NFL Success

Several NFL quarterbacks who were initially considered underperformers or late bloomers are now thriving with new teams in the 2025 season. Notably, Daniel Jones of the Indianapolis Colts has significantly boosted their offense, showcasing versatility and leading rookie tight ends in receptions and yards, contributing to the Colts' 4-1 record. Baker Mayfield, once considered a draft bust, has revived his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, throwing 79 touchdown passes since joining them. Meanwhile, Mac Jones of the San Francisco 49ers, who has shown promising development and maturity, is challenging Brock Purdy for the starting quarterback spot after leading the team to a 4-1 start and demonstrating fewer turnovers. This trend reflects a broader NFL pattern where quarterbacks like Sam Darnold, Jones, Mayfield, and others have found success later in their careers after changing teams and finding favorable coaching situations. Additionally, former Troy Trojan Marcus Jones has made a significant impact with the New England Patriots, excelling as a cornerback and return specialist with notable performances in 2025.
