New England Patriots defensive tackle Gerard Warren has bounced a round the league, since the Cleveland Browns made him the third overall pick in the 2001 NFL Draft.

He spent the 2005 and 2006 seasons in Denver, where he was a teammate of quarterback Jay Cutler.

Count Warren a fan.

"They got a heck of a quarterback in Jay Cutler. I was with him in Denver, and I watched him grow," Warren said.

Warren highlighted Cutler's arm strength and release, but he liked something even more.

"When he was there, he was young, but I saw that fire in his eyes," Warren said. "He wanted to win."
