Warner, who played for the Cardinals from 2005-09 and guided them to Super Bowl XLIII, was picked for the Hall after coming just short of the necessary votes in each of the last two years.
Warner is a two-time NFL Most Valuable Player. He guided the then-St. Louis Rams to their one and only Super Bowl championship in 1999 and was named Super Bowl XXXIV MVP.
Warner threw 100 regular-season touchdown passes for the Cardinals and threw 11 TDs in four playoff games in the 2008 playoffs when he led the Cards to their only Super Bowl appearance.
Warner will be the second undrafted quarterback (Warren Moon) and the third undrafted player since 1970 to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He is also the first NFL Europe player to be selected.
"When nobody else believed in us, when nobody else believed in me, you guys did."
