Don Warren returns to Washington as the team's senior pro scout in 2020.
"Donny Warren is a man that I have known for a long time. We played in the same era in the NFL and we worked closely together in Carolina for many years," said Head Coach Ron Rivera. "He is a man who I trust and whose work I value. I am so happy that he gets to return to the organization where he played and help us transition into a new era of football in Washington D.C."
Don Warren comes back to Washington following 10 years with the Panthers where he was a pro scout and assisted in the advance scouting of Carolina's opponents and evaluating talent in each professional league. Prior to joining the Panthers, Warren spent 2005-09 as a pro scout for Washington.
A fourth-round draft choice for Washington, out of San Diego State in 1979, Warren played his entire 14-year career (1979-92) at tight end for Washington. He saw action in 193 games, amassing 244 receptions for 2,536 yards and seven touchdowns. Warren started in four Super Bowls (XVII, XVIII, XXII, XXVI) under head coach Joe Gibbs, winning three. An original member of the Washington offensive line known as the Hogs, Warren was named to Washington's 70 Greatest team in 2002.
Following his playing career, he worked as a football and baseball coach at Centreville High School in Virginia.
