My Take
Kurt Warner is honestly one of the most jaw-dropping stories in all of professional sports — not just football. This is a guy who was stocking grocery store shelves in Iowa, couldn't get a roster spot, and then somehow became a two-time NFL MVP and a Super Bowl champion with the St. Louis Rams. The "Greatest Show on Turf" era was electric, and Warner was the engine behind it. What I love about him is that he never pretended the journey was anything other than hard, and he wore his faith and his family on his sleeve without being obnoxious about it. His late-career resurrection with the Arizona Cardinals, taking them to Super Bowl XLIII in 2009, was the kind of thing you'd reject as too far-fetched if it showed up in a movie script. Pro Football Hall of Fame, 2017 — took long enough, but they got there.
