The highest-ranking African American on the business side of an NFL team will be recognized this Saturday “for breaking a major barrier” at a private reception in Houston, the host city for Super Bowl LI.
ESPN’s Jason Reid posted a feature on Warren and his journey to his current position. Reid wrote:
Warren had prepared to be successful in whatever field he chose. You could also say that he was destined to rise high: Warren was born into a family of achievers.
His father, Dr. Morrison Warren Sr., became president of the Fiesta Bowl board of directors in 1982, making him the first African American to hold that title among the major college bowl games committees.
