It will be quite intriguing to see how the New Orleans Saints navigate round one of the 2025 NFL Draft. Top tight end prospect Tyler Warren seems to be on their radar, and TE could be a major need on offense for New Orleans.
During the NFL Scouting Combine, Warren impressed reporters with his demeanor and gritty comments during his media availability.
Tyler Warren compared to Jeremy Shockey
According to former Saints quarterback Luke McCown, the Penn State playmaker reminds him of Jeremy Shockey, a name that will never be forgotten in the team’s lore.
Shockey was a fan favorite for his incredible effort and leadership during his time with the Saints. He became an iconic figure in the history of the team, alongside some great production at his position.
Meanwhile, Warren is one of the most polarizing prospects in this year’s class.
He is widely projected to go in the top fifteen selections due to his athleticism and versatility for the TE spots, and New Orleans’ pick is certainly on the table for Warren’s services.
Warren is a fascinating player. He’s the latest of the Penn State hyper athletes to come out of Happy Valley. What he provides teams at the next level is a prototype of a true dual-threat tight end that can be a versatile weapon down the field and block in the running game.
He will need some seasoning to truly unlock his potential due to his inexperience at the position, but Warren is a player worth betting on.
It will be intriguing to see what sort of communication New Orleans has with Warren in the coming weeks ahead of April’s draft. Regardless, he already has a fan in McCown.
