Jordan Reid of ESPN points out that the Colts are in need of a tight end with Mo-Allie Cox set to become a free agent, touting Loveland as a “glorified big receiver who transitions in and out of breaks with ease while showing excellent hands.”

Travis Kelce plans to return to the Kansas City Chiefs next season, but the team should consider long-term options at tight end. The 2025 NFL draft features a deep pool of tight end prospects. Michigan Wolverines tight end Colston Loveland possesses the athleticism and route running to replace Kelce as Kansas City’s go-to target.

I left the NFL combine thinking the gap between Warren and Loveland is much smaller than some believe. In fact, there may be no gap at all.
