QB E.J. Warner, son of Kurt Warner, accepts invite to Broncos rookie minicamp

Yahoo Sports

Kurt Warner went from going undrafted to playing quarterback in the NFL and his son is trying to follow the same path. Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that E. J.

Warner has accepted an invitation to participate in the Broncos' rookie minicamp as a tryout player this weekend. Warner was at the Chiefs' minicamp last weekend for the same purpose. Warner started 10 games at Fresno State last season and went 192-of-277 for 2,030 yards, 13 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.

He was Rice's starter for the 2024 season and spent two seasons as the starter at Temple to kick off his college time. Warner's father famously worked in a grocery store and played in the Arena League and NFL Europe before getting his chance to start for the Rams in 1999. He won the MVP and the Super Bowl that season, which makes for a tough act to repeat so his son will likely just be focused on earning a spot on a roster or practice squad to start his own career.
