Kurtis Eugene Warner (born June 22, 1971) is a former American football quarterback. He played for three National Football League (NFL) teams: the St. Louis Rams, the New York Giants, and the Arizona Cardinals. He was originally signed by the Green Bay Packers as an undrafted free agent in 1994 after playing college football at Northern Iowa. Warner went on to be considered the best undrafted NFL player of all time,[1] following a 12-year career regarded as one of the greatest stories in NFL history.[1][2] Warner was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2017, and is the only person inducted into both the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the Arena Football Hall of Fame.
Warner first attained stardom while playing for the St. Louis Rams from 1998 to 2003, where he won NFL MVP awards in 1999 and 2001 as well as the Super Bowl MVP award in Super Bowl XXXIV when he and the Rams beat the Tennessee Titans. He led the 2008 Arizona Cardinals to Super Bowl XLIII (the franchise's first Super Bowl berth), and owns three of the top five highest single-game passing yardage totals in Super Bowl history. Warner is one of only two quarterbacks to win the Super Bowl in their first season as a starter, the other being Tom Brady. Warner currently holds the tenth-highest career passer rating of all-time (93.7),[3] and the fourth-highest career completion percentage in NFL history with 65.5%.[4]
In 13 career playoff games, Warner ranks 5th all-time in completion percentage (66.5%), 10th in yards per attempt (8.55), and 10th in passer rating (102.8). He announced his retirement after the conclusion of the 2009 season.[5]

"Biography
Born June 22, 1971, Kurtis Eugene Warner was an American football player, undrafted out of the University of Northern Iowa. He is noted for his 3 Super Bowl appearances as quarterback with the St Louis Rams and Arizona Cardinals, as well as his Christian faith and charitable work.
Raised in Iowa, Kurt Warner attended Regis High in Cedar Rapids and graduated UNI with a degree in communications. Undrafted into the NFL, he tried out for the Green Bay Packers and was released. Warner stocked shelves at a Hy-Vee grocery store before getting the opportunity to play in the Arena Football League and NFL Europe. In 1999, he inherited the role of starting quarterback after a preseason injury to Trent Green and would lead the St. Louis Rams to victory in Super Bowl XXXIV. Warner would return to the Super Bowl with the Rams in 2001 and Cardinals in 2008.
The 4-time Pro Bowl selection (1999, 2000, 2001, 2008) was Super Bowl MVP (2000), NFL MVP (1999, 2001), Walter Payton Man of the Year (2008) and Bart Starr Man of the Year (2009). Warner holds the NFL Super Bowl records for most passing yards (414 yards), second most passing yards (377) and third most passing yards (365). He had the highest completion percentage in a single game (92.3%), most consecutive games with +300 yards and was the fastest player to pass for 30,000 yards (114 games). His 11 postseason touchdown passes (2009) also tied the record set by Joe Montana and Joe Flacco. The quarterback retired after the 2009 season and was added to the Arizona Cardinals’ Ring of Honor in September 2014.
In 2001, Warner created the First Things First Foundation as a community outreach program to promote Christian values and share blessings with those in need.
“So much of life is about having an impact, touching the lives of those around you. Being good at what you do or making money along the way is great, but that impression that you make is what still has the greatest impact.”
