Bears could land 19-TD Penn State TE to pair with QB Caleb Williams at No. 10 pick in NFL Draft

The NFL Draft gets underway in a matter of hours on Thursday, as college football players' dreams of taking the next step toward stardom will officially begin.

For Tyler Warren of Penn State, it appears to be which team is the best fit. According to ESPN's Field Yates, the Chicago Bears would be wise to take a chance by drafting the pass-catching star with their first pick at No. 10.

"People I've spoken to around the NFL are already imagining the creative offensive wrinkles new coach Ben Johnson could think up for Warren, who is terrific with the football in his hands," Yates wrote.

His colleague, Mel Kiper, agrees.

"This is a fun pick. If Warren is there, I'm betting Chicago will jump at the opportunity to draft him," Kiper wrote.

Warren had a productive Penn State career. Last season, en route to an Orange Bowl berth, Warren's 104 receptions to go along with eight touchdown catches were the finishing touches needed to solidify his draft stock.

Warren has even received high praise from some of the NFL's key veterans, including Indianapolis Colts receiver Michael Pittman Jr.

"That Penn State tight end is pretty good. I've personally seen what he can do to my USC Trojans," Pittman said, per The Indy Star's Nate Atkins.

According to Mike Florio, Warren won't be present at the draft, which will take place at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

It remains to be seen where Warren ends up, but given the Bears' bruising style of tight ends of years past, Warren could be a natural fit for a team that hasn't had a valuable asset at the position since arguably Greg Olsen.

Either way, Warren won't be on the board for too long.
