In a recent mock draft, the Indianapolis Colts did what has become the unthinkable: they passed on Penn State tight end Tyler Warren. In many mock drafts--and when I say many, I mean many--Warren has been to go-to pick for the Colts and it's easy to understand why

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.

Bucky Brooks of NFL.com r eleased his first mock draft of the 2025 draft cycle, and like many before him, the Indianapolis Colts take Penn State tight end Tyler Warren at pick 14.

The Athletic’s Dane Brugler: “Like Warren to Indianapolis, this is another potential pairing that should be popular in mock drafts. A big, fast and reliable pass catcher, Loveland would help fix several of the Chargers’ offensive woes. And, obviously, no other head coach will be more familiar with how to use his skill set than Jim Harbaugh.”

Addressing the tight end position will be one of the items at the top of the Indianapolis Colts’ offseason to-do list. As general manager Chris Ballard pointed out after the season, the Colts did not get enough passing game production from that unit in 2024.

The Colts come away with one of the most complete tight end prospects to come out in recent memory in this one.
