Kurt Warner's Bio: Born in Burlington, Iowa, Warner played football at Regis High School in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and later went on to attend the University of Northern Iowa. At UNI, Warner was third on the Panthers' depth chart until his senior year. When Warner was finally given the chance to start, he was named the Gateway Conference's Offensive Player of the Year.

Following his college career, Warner went undrafted in the 1994 NFL Draft. He was invited to try out for the Green Bay Packers' training camp in 1994, but was released b efore the regular season began. While Kurt was with the Green Bay Packers, the head coach was Mike Holmgren and the quarterbacks coach was Steve Mariucci, the San Francisco 49ers head coach in 1999. After Warner was released, Mariucci had told him that he knew Warner had enormous potential but was not ready to be an NFL quarterback yet.

Warner returned to Northern Iowa and worked as a graduate assistant coach with the football team, all the while still hoping to get another tryout with an NFL team. With no NFL tea ms willing to give him a chance, Warner turned to the Arena Football League in 1995 and signed with the Iowa Barnstormers. Warner was named to the AFL's First-team All-Arena in both 1996 and 1997 after he led the Barnstormers to Arena Bowl appearances in both seasons. Warner's performance during his stay in the AFL was so impressive that, years later, he would be named twelfth on a list of the twenty best Arena Football players of all time.

In 1998, Warner was finally signed by an NFL franchise, the St. Louis Rams , and was allocated to NFL Europe's Amsterdam Admirals, where he would lead the league in touchdowns and passing yards. Incidentally, his backup at the time was Cleveland Browns quarterback Jake Delhomme, another famous rags-to-riches quarterback. Returning to the United States for the season, Warner spent the 1998 campaign as St. Louis' third-string quarterback behind Tony Banks and Steve Bono.

After releasing Banks and Bono following the 1998 season, the Rams signed free agent Trent Green to be their starting QB , and Warner was promoted to second string. When Green tore his ACL in a preseason game, Warner took over as the Rams' starter.

Warner's breakout season from a career in anonymity was so unexpected that Sports Illustrated featured him on their October 18 cov er with the caption "Who Is this guy?" He was named the 1999 NFL MVP at the season's end.

On January 29, 2010 at 1:00 PM, Kurt Warner officially announced his retirement from his career in the National Football League. He said he is looking forward to finally being a true father to his seven kids, and he wanted to spend time with his wife. He spoke largely on the impact and influence of his family, former teammates, and God. He will be eligible for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame following t he 2014 season, and it is speculated that he will be a first ballot Inductee. Warner is now an Iowa Barnstormers broadcaster. On May 22, 2010 he became the first player inducted into the Arena Football Hall of Fame for the 2010 season. He is also in the Iowa B arnstormers Hall of Fame. … Read more
