There were some boxes Warner didn’t check coming out of BYU. He was a little undersized, and he had some issues with missed tackles. Warner quickly earned the starting middle linebacker job, along with the green dot on his helmet which indicates he’s the one with the radio to relay play calls in from defensive coordinator Robert Saleh. Warner hasn’t missed a game since joining the 49ers two seasons ago, and his coverage ability in the middle of the field makes him one of the most valuable members of San Francisco’s defense.
