big plays and a national championship. In Cincinnati, he became invisible.
The Bengals put Warrick on the field with first-year starting quarterback Akili Smith and another rookie receiver, Florida State teammate Ron Dugans. With no experience, the passing game went nowhere.
The Bengals kept changing quarterbacks in his first three seasons, moving from Smith to Scott Mitchell to Jon Kitna to Gus Frerotte to Smith again and back to Kitna.
Warrick got lost in the shuffle.
"He came in as the fourth pick in the draft, and people expected him to put up all kinds of crazy numbers," Anderson said. "Hes been through so many quarterbacks here that hes never had that chance. Now theyre giving him a chance, and it seems every week hes doing something to ignite the club."
Although receiver Chad Johnson leads the team in catches (55), yards (881) and win guarantees (one), Warrick has quietly stayed close. He has 52 catches for 578 yards, matches Johnson with five touchdown catches and is the teams third-leading rusher with 126 yards on reverses.
Warrick also is one of the Bengals best blockers, a trait that teammates appreciate.
He had a career-high 114 yards on six catches against the Chiefs, including that 77-yard play that showed how far he has come. Kitna saw him with single coverage down the middle of the field and threw it, trusting that Warrick would play it properly.
He did, making the catch and then a 360-degree spin to break free from cornerback Eric Warfield. Two years ago, that play couldnt have happened.
"When I first got here, I knew where they were supposed to be, so I threw it to where they were supposed to be," Kitna said. "Well, sometimes they werent getting there. Now theyre there.
"The classic example is that play to Peter for a touchdown the other day. I had never thrown him that ball ever, but I trusted that he was going to do it."
Lewis also has trusted Warrick to return punts, even though he sometimes showed bad judgment
