Kurt Warner went undrafted out of Northern Iowa. The Green Bay Packers brought him to camp and cut him. So he took a job at a Hy-Vee grocery store in Cedar Falls, stocking shelves for $5.50 an hour, sweeping floors and bagging groceries. He didn’t give up on football. He played in the Arena League and in NFL Europe, and in 1998 the St. Louis Rams signed him. When starter Trent Green hurt his knee before the 1999 season, Warner got his shot. He was named league MVP that year, then threw for a Super Bowl record 414 yards in a 23-16 win over the Titans. Your stocking-shelves season is not the end of your story. Keep working faithfully where you are.
