04/29/13 - Warmack's destiny was with Titans...Many of the mock drafts that came along naturally matched up Alabama guard Chance Warmack with the Tennessee Titans, who had the 10th pick in the draft. The Titans' offensive line was horrible last season, and even though they had signed Buffalo Bills free agent Andy Levitre to a $46 million free-agent package to play left guard, there still was a need to find a right guard.
With Warmack on the board, the Titans jumped at a player who made a great impression upon them not only on film and at the NFL Combine and his pro day, but also in a private workout that included head coach Mike Munchak and offensive line coach Bruce Matthews. "Bruce and I met him at the Combine, and we went down to Alabama to work him out and we got a chance to spend a lot of time with him," Munchak said. "We watched a lot of tape with him, which made us feel very comfortable with him. Even in the NFL, you don't see the kind of power he has, the ability to move the line of scrimmage. To me, he's the complete package. He loves the game and he has a passion for it." - The Sports Xchange
04/29/13 - It was interesting that when asked about that workout, Warmack revealed that three teams had actually asked for a private workout, but he consented only to work out for the Titans in front of Hall of Fame linemen Munchak and Matthews. "This is a dream come true. I was definitely thinking what would it be like if I played for Tennessee," Warmack said. "The o-line coaches, the fact that their running backs are great. You have a quarterback that can get the job done, run or pass and their style of play is physical - run first," the former Crimson Tide star said. "And it's three hours from my home." - The Sports Xchange
04/29/13 - Matthews admitted he is usually not sold on offensive linemen who are accompanied by a lot of hype, which Warmack definitely was, playing on three national championship teams at Alabama. But Warmack quickly sold him. "I go in very skeptical on linemen that I've heard about. Usually they're a product of the team they played on - Alabama having such a great tradition and on such a hot streak that you kind of think, 'Well, they've got a bunch of other guys on the team pumping him up.' I went in very skeptical wanting to shoot him down at every turn and really I think what sold me on him was every time I was with him, I got excited about the opportunity to watch him play. He has the demeanor and the mindset that we're looking for and what we want to accomplish up front." That mindset and the play of the Titans offensive line should be vastly different this season as Warmack becomes the final piece of the puzzle in reworking that unit this offseason. "His physical style of play and his power (fit us). That's what the right guard position calls for," general manager Ruston Webster said. - The Sports Xchange
04/25/13 - DANE BRUGLER'S FINAL 2013 DRAFT BOARD: 6. OG Chance Warmack, Alabama (6-2, 317, 4SR)...Warmack is a physical mauler with the natural bend and movement skills to block on the move. He won't be drafted as high as his talent due to positional value. - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
04/25/13 - ROB RANG'S FINAL 2013 NFL DRAFT BIG BOARD: 8. Chance Warmack, OG, Alabama: If the draft had been held a week after the 2012 BCS title game, Warmack might have been drafted in the top 10. Now, there are some veteran scouts who question if he'll be drafted in the top 20. Some long-time NFL scouts are wondering if he'll even make the first round. He is shorter than scouts would like (6-2 even) and has performed poorly in workouts. I refuse to drop him out of the top 10 because his efforts on the field have been against elite competition, but he has raised red flags with a less-than-ideal work ethic and could be surprised with how far he "slips" on draft day. - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com
03/24/13 - 2013 Alabama Pro Day: Representatives from 32 NFL teams gathered at the pro day held at Alabama on March 13, where 10 players went through a workout held indoors on FieldTurf. New York Jets general manager John Idzik, New York Giants general manager Jerry Reese, Detroit Lions senior personnel executive Brian Xanders, Dallas Cowboys linebackers coach Matt Eberflus and Detroit Lions defensive line coach Kris Kocurek were among the notable attendees. Alabama will have two additional workout days. One will be held on a date to be determined during the first week of April, and the second will be held on April 11.

03/16/13 - 2013 Alabama Pro Day: Warmack wanted to show his athleticism and ''just show what I can bring to the table if anybody wants to draft me.'' Projected as a top-10 pick by some, the guard said he doesn't pay attention to mock drafts. ''I don't have time,'' Warmack said. ''If I'm not sleeping, I'm training and if I'm not training I'm talking to teams. This has been a busy schedule for me, but it's fine. I'm having fun.''
Alabama coach Nick Saban said Warmack's skills make him a good bet as a high pick at a position that produces relatively few first-rounders. ''I just think that Chance has unique skill set and he's got really good size,'' Saban said. ''He's very powerful, he's athletic, he's got good feet, he can pass block and he can get moving in the run game. I think people that have his kind of balance and body control and the kind of athleticism that he has at his size are rare commodities. Everybody knows that those guys play 12, 14, 15 years. I think Chance has a chance to have that kind of career.'' - AP Sports
03/13/13 - 2013 Alabama Pro Day: Warmack and Fluker worked themselves into a full lather from competing in position drills. Each held a blocking pad for the other and held nothing back, performing with top effort on a day when neither had much -- if anything -- to gain. "I ain't scared of nobody," said the loquacious Fluker. "Work day, baby. That's how we do it. It's the Bama way."
Warmack has several private team visits arranged but did not want to disclose specifics regarding his March itinerary. Head coach Nick Saban said it didn't much matter where Warmack winds up -- he'll make that team better from Day One.
"He's very powerful, he's athletic, he's got good feet, he can pass block and he can get moving in the run game," Saban said. "I think people that have his kind of balance and body control and the kind of athleticism that he has at his size are rare commodities. Everybody knows that those guys play 12, 14, 15 years. I think Chance has a chance to have that kind of career." - Jeff Reynolds, The Sports Xchange
12/16/12 - 2012 AP ALL-AMERICAN FIRST TEAM: OG - Chance Warmack, senior, 6-3, 320, Alabama...Warmack has developed into one of the nation's top offensive linemen as a senior. He has started 39 games at the Capstone over the last three years. Warmack helped Alabama average 439.1 yards of total offense, including 224.6 yards per game on the ground, to rank 20th nationally and second in the SEC. - Alabama football
