Breaking down Toledo DB McNeil-Warren's pick-6 with the man himself
University of Toledo’s Emmanuel McNeil-Warren dodges a tackle and scores a touchdown during their home opener college football game against Western Kentucky at the Glass Bowl Stadium in Toledo on Sept. 6.Emmanuel McNeil-Warren was always on the fast track.
Last Saturday, it was a literal description of the senior University of Toledo safety.
On the fifth defensive play, McNeil-Warren — who already had a fumble recovery on the second play — sat back in coverage and lulled Western Kentucky quarterback Maverick McIvor into thinking there were clear skies to wide receiver Matthew Henry.
Wrong.
McNeil-Warren jumped the route and cruised down the UT sideline, untouched, for a 37-yard pick-six.
