Scince being drafted, his NFL career has widely been viewed as a dissapointment. In his first 4 seasons with the Bengals, Warrick never gained more then 667 recieving yards. In 2003, he did make a significant improvement, catching a career high 79 passes for 819 yards and 7 touchdowns and gaining 143 rushing yards on the ground. Still he never did achieve the outstanding success he gained in college or the productivity he was expected to contribute as the 4th player taken in the NFL draft. Ironically; the player on the Bengals who did end up become the top reciever on the team and considered among the best receivers in the NFL was Chad Johnson, who had been drafted with the 5th pick in the second round in the 2001 NFL draft.
