THE NEXT KURT WARNER?

Everyone knows the story of Kurt Warner, who went from bagging groceries and playing in the Arena League, to being the MVP of the Super Bowl. More and more teams have been looking towards leagues like the Arena League for diamonds in the rough like Warner. Leagues like NFL Europe and the recently formed XFL are becoming de facto minor league organizations for the NFL, with teams sending players to those leagues to get them more playing time in the off-season. NFL teams also watch for rising stars in these leagues, who may have had little fanfare going in. Writer DJ Boyer tells readers to keep an eye on Kevin Daft and Ron Pawlus, both of whom excelled in Europe this summer. This article offers the inside scoop on who has the best chance to be the next Kurt Warner.
