Tyler Warren broke multiple Penn State tight end records and is continuing his success in the NFL.
During the Indianapolis Colts’ 48-27 loss to the San Francisco 49ers Monday night, Warren set a new record for the most receiving yards by a tight end in Colts franchise history.
Warren has been arguably the best rookie offensive weapon in football. In 15 games (10 starts), Warren owns 66 catches for 748 yards and four touchdowns, averaging 50 yards per game.
Warren is second among rookies in receptions behind Harold Fannin Jr. (70) and third in receiving yards, trailing only Tet McMillan (924) and Emeka Egbuka (910). He was selected 14th overall and was the second tight end taken after Michigan’s Colston Loveland went to Chicago (10th).
Warren passed Hall of Famer John Mackey (726), a familiar name linked to Warren’s past. He won the 2024 Mackey Award as the nation’s top tight end in 2024 at Penn State.
