Penn State also gave him chances in the run game (26/218/4) to up his overall value to the team.

Sexy, impact tight ends are hard to find in NFL drafts. Warren wins contested passes, gets open over the short and intermediate areas of the field, shows open-field running, and plays with speed and quickness. His blocking has a reasonable floor on quick-hitting run plays, but Warren must prove himself vs. elite pass rushers when asked to chip and secure in pass protection.
For a team looking for a tight end with similar qualities as Travis Kelce, Warren should shine brightly in the first round. His game will have further growth at the next level, and he’ll command the ball quickly in his NFL career. The fantasy market will be following his draft stock closing in 2025, as Warren could land into a favorable situation in his rookie campaign.
