From Underdog to NFL Icon, Gridiron Great Brings His Message of Enduring Faith and Belief to Distinguished Speaker Series

Farmers Bank & Trust of Magnolia (FB&T) recently announced that legendary former NFL quarterback Kurt Warner will headline the 21st Annual FB&T Distinguished Speaker Series at Southern Arkansas University (SAU) in Magnolia, Arkansas. As an independent community bank headquartered in Magnolia, FB&T proudly serves customers across Arkansas, Texas, and Oklahoma with a full range of personal and business banking services.

After going undrafted out of Northern Iowa in 1994, Warner worked in a grocery store and played in the Arena Football League and NFL Europe before getting his shot in the NFL. He joined the St. Louis Rams in 1998, and by the following year, became the starting quarterback, leading the legendary “Greatest Show on Turf” offense. That season, Warner passed for 4,353 yards and 41 touchdowns, capturing both NFL MVP and Super Bowl XXXIV MVP honors as he guided the Rams to a championship.
