In the NFL Draft, no team picks rookie receiver Kade Warner. Now that the Buccaneers are taking him, the legend’s son is talking extra big.
This young man certainly doesn’t lack confidence!
Rookie receiver Kade Warner was not selected in last month’s NFL Draft, but was subsequently added to their roster as an Undrafted Rookie Free Agent by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The draft disappointment hasn’t hurt his confidence at all, though. More specifically, it has strengthened his resolve to do what his father did.
Bucs receiver harbours big ambitions
NFL legend Kurt Warner, now in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, also once came into the league as an undrafted rookie. The quarterback later won the Super Bowl with the St. Louis Rams, became Super Bowl MVP and was selected to the Pro Bowl four times.
High ambitions, which his son also has.
“I take everything personally,” the youngster told “pewterreport.com”. “The fact that I didn’t get drafted, every little detail. For example, if the coaches pick someone else ahead of me, I make a note of it. If someone gets more playing time than me in the walk-through, I write that down. “
Son of Kurt Warner striving
With Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Russell Gage, the Bucs’ regulars at the receiver position are already set, with everything still open behind them. Slot receiver Warner, who caught 60 passes for 622 yards and five touchdowns in 22 games for the Wildcats, could earn a spot on the squad with his special teams skills.
But the youngster aspires for much more. “I’m very competitive and I’m the smartest receiver in this rookie class. They’re going to make a good slot receiver out of me, and I’m going to know exactly what to do on every play.”
In any case, with an NFL legend as a father, nothing seems impossible.
