E.J. Warner, the son of Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner, will make his first start as quarterback for Temple on Saturday when they take on Rutgers, according to ESPN's Pete Thamel.
"He went out there and executed the offense, didn't try to step outside himself, went out there and put the ball where it needed to be."
While comparisons to his father Kurt Warner and the inspirational story about his journey to the NFL are unavoidable , Drayton isn't thinking about the elder Warner. All he knows is he saw something special when E.J. was on the field, especially when he was able to stay calm and take hits from the Lafayette defense while still completing accurate passes.Drayton said via the Inquirer,
"a guy who can sit there and keep his eyes down the field, trust the protection is going to be OK and take those hits, get back up and deliver it again. And that's what we saw out of E.J. That's exciting."
