Tyler Warren should be #5. Tight Ends are people too

There is no doubt that Tyler Warren is the best tight end in the country this season. He could very well be one of the first tight ends off the board in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Ashton Jeanty The Heisman Trophy Front Runner
It is a nice thought that the Nittany Lions tight end has entered the conversation, but in reality, it is Boise State Broncos running back Ashton Jeanty’s award to lose at this point. A running back has not won the Heisman Trophy since the 2015 season when Derrick Henry of the Alabama Crimson Tide won the award.
The last time a tight end won the Heisman Trophy was back in 1949. Leon Hart of the Notre Dame Fighting was the last one to win the award at that position. Tyler Warren being in the national spotlight is a good thing, but Jeanty is the one who is going to wind up winning the award this season.
