Below is the NFL.com draft profile bio on Warren:

Jaylen Warren, RB, Oklahoma State, 5-8, 215 Warren was named Utah's Mr. Football in 2016 after running for a state-record 3,099 yards and record-tying 38 touchdowns for state title-winning Salt Lake City East High School. He began his collegiate career at Snow College. He ran for over 1,000 yards both seasons at Snow, earning NJCAA Offensive Player of the Year recognition as a sophomore. Warren signed with Utah State in 2019, playing in 12 games off the bench that season (112-569-5.1, five TDs rushing; 15-182-12.1 receiving). He opted out of the 2020 campaign after three games (39-252-6.5, one TD rushing; 3-27-9.0 receiving, two starts) before transferring to Oklahoma State. The Cowboys welcomed him with open arms, voting him a team captain. Warren was the Big 12 Conference Offensive Newcomer of the Year and an honorable mention all-conference selection after recording a team-high 1,216 yards and 11 touchdowns on the ground (256 carries; 25-225-9.0 receiving in 14 games, 12 starts). -- by Chad Reuter

"Wrecking ball on wheels who plays with the type of pace and power that makes tape study a lot of fun," wrote Lance Zierlein in NFL.com's draft profile of the player. "Warren is a self-assured competitor who proved he could handle the workload and spotlight of the Big 12. He's decisive, with an ability to cut at full speed. However, he lacks burst and agility to expand his runs too far outside. He's a momentum runner who is much tougher to tackle with every step he takes, but he needs it blocked up, as he lacks the ability to create for himself early in the run. He's talented in the screen game and has a chance to compete for a backup role."
