The Indianapolis Colts selected Penn State tight end Tyler Warren at pick No. 14 in the first round of the 2025 NFL draft. "The last time I felt that good about pulling a pick -- and I felt good about all of them -- was Quenton (Nelson)," Chris Ballard said, via the Indy Star. "It was easy. It was easy. There wasn't a lot of discussion.”

For the third time during Franklin’s time in State College, two Penn State players have gone in Round 1: Carter and Warren in 2025, offensive tackle Olu Fashanu (New York Jets) and edge rusher Chop Robinson (Miami) in 2024 and edge rushers Micah Parsons (Dallas) and Odafe Oweh (Baltimore) in 2021.

Is Tyler Warren a good fit for the Indianapolis Colts? He had 153 catches for 1,839 yards and 19 touchdowns over the past four seasons.
