Warner, a standout running back, was selected with the third overall pick in the 1983 NFL Draft. He made an immediate impact, rushing for 1,449 yards and scoring a career-high 14 total touchdowns in his rookie season. His performance earned him second-team AP All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors, and he was named the Seahawks' MVP, an award voted on by his teammates. Though a torn ACL sidelined him in the 1984 season opener, Warner made a remarkable comeback the following year, surpassing 1,000 rushing yards and earning the Sports Illustrated Comeback Player of the Year award. He earned another Seahawks MVP award in 1986 and went on to serve as team captain in 1987. He ranks third in franchise history with 6,705 rushing yards and 55 rushing touchdowns, and he shares the record for most rushing touchdowns in a single game with four (Shaun Alexander). After his seven-year stint with Seattle, in which he earned three second-team AP All-Pro and Pro Bowl nominations each, he spent his final season with the Los Angeles Rams.
