ESPN has him listed at 6'5" and 249lbs.
I respect your opinion as I know you do your homework. I think any good offense can adapt and change for the better if that add a different element.
Tyler Warren is listed at 6'6" and 257.

I think barring injuries from the 2 players, Warren will be the better TE throughout their careers.
Warren had a career breakout year in 2024. He has improved every year significantly and has better college stats if you can compare his last 3 years to Loveland.
Warren also has 6 rushing TD's including 197 yards and 4 TD. s in 2024. He may be closer to Travis Kelcie than others in the past years.
I know I am on the Warren hype train. I just don't see Loveland being a stud TE in the NFL, I don't feel he has elite college TE numbers.
Won't matter Bengals are not going to take a TE round 1. Not with zero pass rush and a DL heavy top 50. Kelvin Banks, Malachi Starks, and Will Johnson will likely be the only prospects to make them look somewhere other than DL.
