There aren’t a lot of stories that are better than the sudden rise of Kurt Warner from grocery store clerk to NFL and Super Bowl MVP in 1999. He came from nowhere and would eventually end up in the Pro Football Hall of Fame after a stop with the New York Giants and leading the Arizona Cardinals to a Super Bowl appearance in Super Bowl XLIII.
Since retiring Warner has become a part of both Westwood One and NFL Network’s coverage of the game. This week Warner followed through on a request made from Notre Dame tight ends coach and former Cardinals staffer John McNulty.
McNulty shot his shot and landed Notre Dame quarterbacks a chance to visit with Warner earlier this week and that has apparently happened.

Nobody offered much information as to what advise Warner had to offer but he did appear to have a good time.
Thanks for the invite – this is the kind of content I want to being doing during this pandemic social distancing… when’s part 2? What college Qb group is next?? https://t.co/Z8OTRguYNT

Notre Dame starting quarterback Ian Book took to Twitter to briefly describe the experience as well.
Unbelievable experience☘️

Here’s to hoping whenever we get football again that Ian Book leads a Notre Dame offense that becomes the 2020 version of “The Greatest Show on Turf”.
