Chris Warren is a former American football running back who played in the National Football League (NFL) for 11 seasons. He was born on January 19, 1968, in Bryan, Texas, and attended Ferris High School in Ferris, Texas. Warren played college football at the University of Virginia, where he was a standout running back for the Cavaliers.
Warren was selected by the Seattle Seahawks in the fourth round of the 1990 NFL Draft. He quickly established himself as one of the team's top offensive players, rushing for over 1,000 yards in each of his first three seasons. Warren was a powerful runner with excellent speed and agility, and he was also a reliable receiver out of the backfield.
In 1994, Warren had his best season as a pro, rushing for 1,545 yards and 15 touchdowns. He was named to the Pro Bowl for the first time in his career and was also named a first-team All-Pro. Warren continued to be a productive player for the Seahawks over the next few seasons, but the team struggled to make the playoffs.
In 1998, Warren was traded to the Dallas Cowboys, where he played for two seasons. He was still a productive player, rushing for over 1,000 yards in his first season with the team. However, the Cowboys struggled during Warren's tenure, and he was released after the 1999 season.
Warren signed with the Philadelphia Eagles for the 2000 season but played in only four games before being released. He retired from the NFL after the season, finishing his career with 7,696 rushing yards and 52 touchdowns.
Despite his impressive statistics, Warren has not been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. However, he is still remembered as one of the top running backs of his era and a key player for the Seahawks during their playoff runs in the early 1990s.
