Born just before Memorial Day in 2002, Warren is a third-generation football player; his dad Terry Warren played football for the University of Richmond and his grandfather Steve Warren played at Wake Forest.

Tyler Warren will be the latest Penn State tight end to be selected in the NFL draft during James Franklin’s time in State College. Warren is going early. Very early. And there will be plenty of Nittany Lion tight ends picked in the near future.

The Jets are "eyeing possible tight end fits with their first round pick," reports Dianna Russini of The Athletic. Meanwhile, Mina Kimes of ESPN said on the air late Thursday morning that No. 7 is as early as Penn State tight end Tyler Warren will go.
