Demarcus Ware

It is funny to type this, but how can a Hall Of Fame player be under appreciated while playing for the most popular and over publicized team in America?

Ware quickly became my favorite defensive player in the NFL, Not only was he a freak of nature, his public personality is worthy of the NFL using it as an example for incoming players.

The stats you  posted previously speak for themselves,
When you trial Lawrence Taylor and Reggie White (The Greatest) in sacks per game, you have achieved a place beyond expectations.
(Side bar, Reggie White had 23.5 more sacks the 2 years in Memphis prior to Philly. And he was never just an end rusher like the rest of the top sackers.)

I was glad he won a Super Bowl ring after suffering through the mediocre years in Dallas, but I hated that he didn't get his farewell in Dallas.

His NFL friend and college teammate summed it up very well, Osi Umenyiora called him the "greatest player ever."

I still get upset that Harrison was voted Defensive MVP over Ware in 2008,  Ware had more sacks and more tackles on a team with much less talent.  In my opinion he should have won in 2007 also.

Hurry up and put him in the Ring of Honor.
