Through 12 NFL seasons, Ware, who finished his career with the Denver Broncos, earned nine Pro Bowl selections, four All-Pro accolades, membership on the Hall of Fame All-2000s Team, and racked up 138.8 sacks, 657 tackles and 35 forced fumbles. Nine of those seasons were spent in Dallas, where he holds the team record with 117 sacks and on seven occasions produced double-digit sacks in a season – including twice leading the league.
Jones inducted Ware into the Hall this past summer, so it seemed only fitting he would bestow Ware with his latest honor on Wednesday.
