Curt Warner (born March 18, 1961 in Pineville, West Virginia) was the Seattle Seahawks first-round draft pick in 1983. A running back out of Penn State University, Warner led the AFC in rushing yards his rookie season, helping his team to the franchise's first Conference Championship game which they lost to the Los Angeles Raiders. The following year Warner suffered a torn ACL in the season opener against Cleveland and was sidelined for the rest of the year. He came back in 1985 and had a number of successful seasons before ending his career with the Los Angeles Rams.
Warner finished his 8 NFL seasons with 6,844 rushing yards, 193 receptions for 1,467 yards, and 63 touchdowns. He made the pro bowl 3 times (1983, 1986, 1987).
Warner was raised in Pineville, West Virginia, a small town of less than 1,000. He helped his high school football team to several state championship games. He was a multisport athlete, perhaps excelling in baseball more than football. He was predicted as an early first-round draft pick out of high school but was convinced by coach Joe Paterno of Penn State University to play college football rather than play professional baseball.
He currently owns a car dealership named Curt Warner Chevrolet in Vancouver, Washington.
