[edit] College career

Warren attended the University of Utah and was a two-year starter under head coach Urban Meyer after playing at Grant Union High School. In his senior year, Warren played a key part in the Utah Utes offense, as they went 12-0 and became the first non-BCS conference team to play in a Bowl Championship Series bowl game. Utah defeated the Big East Conference champion Pittsburgh Panthers 35-7 to become the 2005 Fiesta Bowl champions. Against Pittsburgh, Warren was part of a rare trick play called the hook-and-ladder, or hook and lateral, in which quarterback Alex Smith threw a short pass to wide out Steve Savoy who then lateraled the ball to Warren. Warren proceeded to carry the ball into the endzone from just inside the Panther's 20 yard line. Warren finished the game with a Fiesta Bowl-record 15 receptions and 198 yards. ^[1]

[edit] NFL career

Warren was drafted in the seventh round of the 2005 NFL Draft by the Buccaneers. After spending the first five weeks of the season on the 53-man roster, he was waived and spent the 2005 season on the Buccaneers practice squad. He made the team in 2006, but played in just 8 games and had 5 catches for 63 yards.

He seemed to have earned a roster spot in 2007 as well. However, he injured his leg while catching a touchdown with three minutes left in the final pre-season game of the 2007 season. Warren suffered a dislocated ankle, forcing him to spend the 2007 NFL season on injured reserve.
