Kurt Warner's journey into professional sports could be converted to an award-winning, tear-jerker, blockbuster film. Prior to becoming a Hall of Fame quarterback, Warner was third on the University of Northern Iowa's depth chart before he got the chance to take to the field and become an overnight sensation. When he declared for the 1994 NFL Draft, unfortunately, he went undrafted, but was eventually signed by the Green Bay Packers as a free agent.
After playing in an arena football league and in the NFL Europe for a couple of seasons, Kurt Warner got the opportunity to play for the St. Louis Rams in 1998 where he led the team to a Super Bowl victory over the Tennessee Titans in 1999. Warner became the first undrafted quarterback to lead his team to a Super Bowl victory and the only undrafted quarterback to win Super Bowl MVP. Warner also was a 4x NFL Pro-Bowler and 2x NFL MVP. Kurt Warner went on to play for the New York Giants and Arizona Cardinals where he led the team to their first-ever Super Bowl berth in 2008. We can see the Kurt Warner biopic coming to theaters in the near future.
