DeMarcus Ware Retires

I feel like Ware is slightly underrated and under-appreciated.  I will definitely remember him as one of the top-tier Cowboys and one of the most freakishly gifted athletes I ever saw.  I was glad to hear most talk shows this week say that he is a clear hall of famer.  At about 6-4 and 260 he was an incredible combination of explosion and strength.  Also a great guy, a great interview, and a guy who was always smiling.

  • Had 8 seasons of double-digit sacks
  • High sack seasons of 20, 19.5, 15.5, and 14
  • Led the league in sacks twice
  • 4-time 1st team All-Pro and 3 times 2nd team
  • 9 Pro Bowls
  • Super Bowl winner in 2015 season
  • Retiring at 8th on all-time sack list with 138.5
  • 7.5 sacks in 8 career playoff games
  • 3rd all-time at retirement in sacks per game at .78 trailing only Reggie White and Lawrence Taylor
