Player performance

Warren is the top tight end of the 2025 draft class because of his all-around ability. From 2020-2022, Warren was buried on Penn State’s depth chart behind Pat Freiermuth, Brenton Strange and Theo Johnson, all projected NFL starters in 2025. Warren and Johnson often shared the field in 2023, while Warren ran more routes and sustained more blocks. Warren showed signs of greatness in 2023 as one of four Power-Five tight ends with a positive grade on at least 10% of his routes on over 300 routes run. However, a high drop rate dragged his PFF grade down. His 14.6% drop rate was the highest among the same subset of tight ends. His separation rate was also in the 88th percentile among tight ends, but it was also the second-lowest of the tight ends expected to get drafted on the first two days of the draft.
