Peter Warrick is the first college football player I can remember being wowed by as a kid. Every time he touched the ball, it felt like he was on a different plane of existence than the other 21 players he shared the field with. He was a superhero in garnet and gold, and the No. 9 on the front of his jersey might as well have been an 'S.' Everything about Warrick was cool, right down to the way he would high-step into the endzone:
If you ask Florida State fans –or any other college football fan who watched him during that era– to describe Warrick in one word, an overwhelming majority would give you the same answer: Elusive.

Florida State had a comically long list of all-time great players during the height of the Bobby Bowden era, but none of them captured the nation's eye quite like Warrick. For four seasons, he evaded defenders with a distinctive blend of speed and shiftiness that made him must-see TV every fall Saturday. This guy was so awesome that even Miami fans talk about him with reverence:
Almost 30 years later, watching Warrick torch a defense then saunter into the endzone is just as fun as it was then. His style of play stands the test of time, and was a precursor to the hybrid athletes we see in every wide receiver room around the country (and in the NFL) today. If you're not familiar, I think you'll get the idea after watching this video of all 43 touchdowns he accounted for during his time at Florida State.
