If the Bengals are going to improve upon last year&#8217;s mark, they&#8217;ll need to either spend money or draft well.<\/p>\n<p>In a 2025 NFL Mock Draft,\u00a0Mike Renner\u00a0has Penn State tight end Tyler Warren still available when the Bengals pick at No. 17.<\/p>\n<p>As a redshirt junior, Warren was used relatively sparingly. He accumulated 34 catches for 422 yards and an impressive seven touchdowns for a low volume.<\/p>\n<p>As a redshirt senior for Penn State in 2024, Warren looked like a Swiss army knife. There wasn&#8217;t anywhere the Nittany Lions were afraid to put him on offense.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">He caught the ball 17 times. <br \/>He ran the ball. <br \/>He threw the ball. <br \/>He snapped the ball. <\/p>\n<p>Tyler Warren was sensational for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PennStateFball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@PennStateFball<\/a> vs. USC. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5bTv4SKaUK\">pic.twitter.com\/5bTv4SKaUK<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; CBS Sports College Football \ud83c\udfc8 (@CBSSportsCFB) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CBSSportsCFB\/status\/1845247878442139851?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 12, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>He finished the year with 104 catches for 1,233 yards and eight touchdowns.
