Warren took a bit of a back seat to Kenneth Gainwell within former OC Arthur Smith's offense last season. Warren led the team in rushing, but Gainwell was named team MVP after he led the team in receptions with 73 as Rodgers' favorite target for picking up yardage underneath. And Warren's start to 2026 had been rather slow.

Warren elevated from secondary role to focal point after offensive line changes unlocked his production.

Warren took a back seat to Kenneth Gainwell within former OC Arthur Smith's offense last season despite leading the team in rushing, as Gainwell led the team in receptions with 73 and was named team MVP as Rodgers' favorite target. Warren's start to 2026 had been slow with fewer than 50 rushing yards in Weeks 1 and 2, but the offensive line changes in Week 3 unlocked him and 'by extension, the rest of the offense.' Aaron Rodgers praised Warren as 'one of the toughest guys I've ever played with' and highlighted his energy and running ability.
