Gordon Warner brings efficient, big-play upside to Toledo’s backfield
In the 2007 season, Toledo RB Gordon Warner logged 23 carries for 126 yards and 3 rushing touchdowns, plus 1 catch for 12 yards, averaging 5.5 yards per carry[1][2]. His calling card was scoring efficiency: three TDs on just 23 rushes is the kind of finish-touch you want in a red-zone package[2][8]. Listed at No. 6 on the preseason depth chart and noted as having spent time at slot receiver in spring practice, he looked like a versatile, move-around chess piece rather than a pure grind-it-out back[2].
