Dillard's department-store incident
In July 1998, Warrick was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, but the charges were later dropped.[8]
On September 29, 1999, during his senior season at Florida State, Warrick and teammate
At the 1999 rivalry game between the
At the time of his arrest, Warrick was widely considered the frontrunner for the Heisman Trophy with 36 catches for 508 yards and four touchdowns during the season. Following the arrest, Florida State suspended Warrick for two games, as school rules prevented him from playing while criminal charges were pending. The two-game suspension, along with the negative publicity that he received in the national media, ended any chance for Warrick to be awarded the Heisman Trophy. At season's end, Warrick was not invited to the award presentation at the Downtown Athletic Club and finished sixth in the overall voting.[10]
Professional career
2000 NFL draft
Although Warrick had been projected as the first overall pick in the 2000 NFL draft, a disappointing 40-yard dash time under adverse conditions during a workout hurt his standing. The Dillard's incident also lowered his stock for some NFL teams. However, he was selected fourth overall by the Cincinnati Bengals.[9]
Cincinnati Bengals
In his first three seasons with the Bengals, Warrick never gained more than 667 receiving yards. In 2003, Warrick caught a career-high 79 passes for 819 yards and seven touchdowns while gaining 143 rushing yards and adding another 273 yards and a touchdown returning punts.
Warrick missed most of the 2004 season with an injury, and receiver T. J. Houshmandzadeh, a seventh-round pick in the 2001 draft, replaced him at the #2 receiver spot and had the best season of his career. Warrick was released by the Bengals before the start of the 2005 season.

On September 2, 2006, Warrick was cut by the Seahawks after the preseason. The New York Giants gave him a workout on November 13, and the Bengals also did so later in the year, but both teams declined to offer him a contract.
