Tyler Warren - TE
Penn State

Overview
The ultimate "whatever, whenever" player in the 2025 draft with the size, athleticism and competitive spirit to make good on his intentions. Warren plays with swagger and “best player on the field” energy.

Strengths
- Big, athletic, tough and competitive.
- Carries a ton of alpha energy on the field.
- Does whatever is necessary to help his team win.
- Handled short-yardage runs with direct snaps and Wildcat looks.
- Impressive early quickness and speed variance in his routes.
- Hips are smooth getting in and out of his break points.
- Doesn’t need much workspace to make the catch.

Weaknesses
- Too easily contacted and redirected within the pattern.
- Logged reps where he would coast or run nonchalant routes

Pro comparison - Jeremy Shockey

Round 1, Top 10 pick

I'm beginning to think that taking a QB anywhere in this draft would be a big mistake. I heard today that more than one former draft "veteran" don't have any of this year's crop of QB's with a true first round grade. In fact, one reportedly said that Cam Ward, which he acknowledged as the best, would have been the 7th QB off the board in last year's draft. That would have put him one slot ahead of Rattler who was the 7th taken. So basically, Rattler may likely be rated as better than any QB not named Ward in this year's draft.

I say roll with what we have, and play out the season and look to address QB next year.
