NEW ORLEANS – Penn State star and top NFL Draft prospect Tyler Warren is gearing up for his professional career in a few months. But before that, he’ll witness a face-off between two elite tight ends in the league at the biggest stage.
In an interview with Fox News Digital ahead of Super Bowl LIX this weekend, Warren shared his thoughts on veteran tight ends Travis Kelce and Dallas Goedert and the impact they’ve made not just in the game but in elevating the position’s value.

“He knows what he does well and keeps doing that,” Warren said about Kansas City Chiefs star Kelce and his ability to consistently find openings. “It’s all about doing what works for you rather than conforming to a certain look.”
“Maintaining elite status as a receiving tight end for such a long time is truly impressive. It underscores his dedication to mastering his craft and approach to each game.”
