Rarely does a player miss most of a season due to injury and maintain his standing in our top 10. Warner, however, earned around 70% of the first-place votes. It was a slight drop from the previous year, but his status in the position hierarchy remains clear.
Warner has been an All-Pro four times since 2020, second only to edge rusher Myles Garrett (five) during that span. An ankle injury limited Warner to six games last season, but he made the most of those appearances with 51 tackles (two for loss), three pass deflections, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.
“He diagnoses faster than anyone,” an NFL coordinator said. “That’s really his secret sauce. Processes the game at an incredibly fast level.”
