Eagles might have to start a dialogue about $24 million shaky performer
The Philadelphia Eagles are off to a stellar 6-2 start and have mostly received some nice performances from their players, but there might be one that warrants discussion due to some concerns.
Eagles kicker Jake Elliott faced some heavy criticism last year after hitting just 77.8% of his field goals on the season, the lowest since 2020. In particular, he made just one of his seven field goals from 50 yards or longer, which was a significant concern.
Luckily for Elliott, he stepped up in the postseason as he made 10 of his 11 field goals, but missed three extra points. This was something that was becoming a problem for the Eagles if he didn't perform well in the 2025 season.
Elliott's 2025 season isn't bad, but still leaves some flaws to his game
Looking at the overall season for Elliott, it hasn't been terrible for him. The Eagles haven't called upon him often, but he has made seven of his nine field goals. His shining stat for the year is that he has made all 25 of his extra points.
Following his strong start to the year, concern has been raised about his performance over the last two games. Elliott has gone one of three in his fields combined against the Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants.
In the Vikings game, Elliott missed an easy 42-yard field goal indoors. He can get a pass for missing a 58-yard field goal against the Giants the following week in the first quarter, but he had easily made two 58-yarders within the first two weeks of the season, though.
Is this a massive problem now? Maybe not, but this one can't be ignored, as the Eagles are going to need Elliott at some point late in the season, and the question is going to be asked as to whether they can trust him to come up big in clutch moments.
Tyler Warren's hair is just one awesome feature of multi-dimensional Colts rookie tight end
Tyler Warren does it all.
That includes pulling off shoulder-length blonde hair as an NFL tight end.
The Indianapolis Colts' rookie, taken No. 14 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft out of Penn State, is clearly special.
The hair just completes the picture.
There don't appear to be any real origin stories of the hair. Warren's early PSU pictures have him with shorter hair, so it was an in-college decision.
Once he started growing it, Warren clearly decided not to stop.
It just added to the vibe of one of the best players in the country. Penn State threw to him a ton, of course. But they also let him run the ball and even throw the ball.
The Colts had to have been thrilled when Warren made it to No. 14 in the first round. He wasn't even the first tight end chosen. The Chicago Bears took Colston Loveland at No. 10, a move that hasn't aged well so far.
Warren looks like he can be the centerpiece of Indy's passing attack for years and years to come. He's been a favorite target of Daniel Jones, and yes, Warren already has a rushing TD this season, too.
It wouldn't be shocking at all to see a few youngsters in the Indianapolis area begin growing out their hair, too. If Tyler can do it, why not them?
It's hard to pull it off the way Warren has, though. He's so impressive on the field that the flowing hair just adds to the picture. And so far, it's quite the exquisite picture.
