The 49ers' defensive star also became the fifth NFL player since 2010 to register 100 or more tackles in each of his first five seasons.
Warner joins the exclusive club that includes Roquan Smith (2018-22 with the Chicago Bears), Telvin Smith (2014-18 with the Jacksonville Jaguars), Bobby Wagner (2012-16 with the Seattle Seahawks) and Luke Kuechly (2012-16 with the Carolina Panthers) to record 100 or more tackles in each of his first five seasons.
Since being selected No. 70 overall in the 2018 NFL Draft by the 49ers, the 6-foot-3 defender has 615 career tackles, with a career-high 137 coming last season. With 111 tackles through 15 games this season, Warner needs 27 tackles over the 49ers' final two regular-season games to set a new career high.
