Dre Greenlaw gets emotional reuniting with Fred Warner at 49ers/Broncos joint practice

In a heartfelt moment during the 49ers/Broncos joint preseason practice, Broncos linebacker Dre Greenlaw got emotional after reuniting with his former teammate Fred Warner. The two had spent five seasons together in San Francisco, and their bond was clear as they shared the field once again, this time as opponents.

"Man… felt like homecoming seeing Fred again," Greenlaw said, visibly moved by the reunion. "It was surreal. We spent so many years battling side by side, and now here we are on opposite sides of the ball."

Greenlaw and Warner were a dominant duo for the 49ers, forming one of the NFL's most respected linebacker partnerships. Their chemistry on the field was unmatched, and the moment of facing off against each other as rivals in a preseason practice brought back memories of their shared success in San Francisco.

For Greenlaw, the experience of reuniting with Warner highlighted the deep connection they had formed over the years. "It’s a strange feeling being on different teams, but that bond we built is never going to go away," Greenlaw added. "Seeing him out there again just felt like home."

The emotional reunion was a reminder of the strong relationships that form within NFL teams and how those connections last, even when players are no longer teammates. Despite wearing different jerseys, the respect and camaraderie between Greenlaw and Warner remain as strong as ever.
