They say you should save the best for last.
In a speech at the ceremony for his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame over the weekend, Kurt Warner did just that. The two-time National Football League “Most Valuable Player” (MVP) and winner of Super Bowl XXXIV made his career playing 12 seasons in the NFL for the St. Louis Rams, New York Giants and Arizona Cardinals—but those achievements are not where this all-star athlete’s identity is rooted.
He closed out the night with a “thank you” to Jesus saying, “the one whom, without a doubt, has left the deepest mark and has become the cornerstone of my life.”
Warner added, “His final moment was for me, mine is for him.”

“I’m going to conclude with one last moment and one last ‘Thank you.’ To the one whom, without a doubt, has left the deepest mark and has become the cornerstone of my life. In the early stage of my career, I had a chance to stand at a podium similar to this, in front of millions of people after Super Bowl XXXIV.
