ARLINGTON, Texas – DeMarcus Ware still remembers the day that changed his life: Draft Day, 2005, sitting in a hotel conference center in Auburn, Ala., with his family.
“All of a sudden you get that phone call and it was that 214 (area code) number,” Ware said. “I didn’t know what 214 means, but I do now. It was Dallas.”
Ware collected the eighth-most sacks in NFL history (138.5) over nine seasons in Dallas and three with the Denver Broncos. Now, almost a year after his ceremonial retirement press conference at The Star in Frisco, Ware is teaming up with the Cowboys to give back to the North Texas region.
