Stuck behind Brett Farve, the future 3 time MVP, Warner barely got a shot, but he calls that moment his biggest blessing. After the cut, he headed back to Iowa, stocking shelves at a grocery store for minimum wage.

Fans and players still rave about his grit. Larry Fitzgerald called him striking gold for the cardinals later on.
