Penn State stars Abdul Carter and Tyler Warren are projected first-round picks in the 2025 NFL draft — and ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr. agrees.

Penn State tight end Tyler Warren is an absolute problem for defenses and he was a beast of a player beyond standard tight end duties in the collegiate ranks. Warren is simply a weapon able to be utilized all over the field, whether that’s as a receiver, a runner or H-back in the backfield, or even as a passer.

Coming off a historic season, Penn State tight end Tyler Warren has announced a decision that felt inevitable. Warren has declared for the 2025 NFL draft and will leave behind his remaining eligibility with the Nittany Lions.

It’s hard to argue with this recent projected pick for the Colts by longtime ESPN NFL Draft Guru Mel Kiper Jr.
