Tyler Warren wasn’t anywhere near TE1 when the 2024 season started, but he’s claimed that spot along the way.
With Michigan’s Colston Loveland stuck in a floundering offense with no real direction and then dealing with injury, his status took a hit. Whereas, Warren sparkled as the focal point of the Penn State passing attack.
A season ago, Warren caught 34 passes for 422. He reached S-tier status as a senior, as new Penn State offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki used him as an offensive weapon, lining the tight end up all over the formation. He’ll play in-line, on the wing, in the slot, out wide, in the backfield and even take the snap.
As Penn State’s point of emphasis, he more than doubled his previous output, with 88 receptions for 1,062 yards.
The John Mackey Award winner led Power Four tight ends in receiving grades and yards after catch, according to Pro Football Focus.
At the NFL level, a creative mind can have this tight end become the leading target in their offense.
Best Fits: Indianapolis Colts, Cincinnati Bengals, San Francisco 49ers
Worst Fits: New Orleans Saints, Dallas Cowboys, Seattle Seahawks
