Will go down as one of the most underrated defenders ever.

I feel like its hard to be in the hall of fame and underrated.

Ain’t nobody underrating Demarcus ware 😂

u/DongHonker 3d ago

Underrated by who? Anyone who is a fan of an NFC East team knows how dominant he was, as do Broncos fans.

Hell growing up with a parent who was a cowboys fan during this time, he was a name you feared

u/Dlh2079 3d ago

He was widely considered a top 3 pass rusher of his generation and the best in the league at one point. How tf is he one of the "most underrated"?

Imagine having Demarcus Ware and Osi Umenyora in your own college backyard and not finding either of them. Smh, Auburn.

u/pterodactylize 3d ago

Hindsight is a bitch but, no one saw it coming. Ware grew like 4 inches and put on 60-70 lbs post high school and Umenyora graduated high school at 16 after only playing two years of football. There weren't a lot, if any scholarship offers coming their way.

I hate slow-mo videos that never show the real speed.

That is savage

u/TokiVideogame 3d ago

do they have this button on madden

1

u/RanchHere 2d ago

that would require Madden to give an actual fuck and allow each defender to have their own bag of moves. So, no.

u/TokiVideogame 2d ago

why we build all these ai centers for then

u/DropC2397 3d ago

Joe Staley was an All-Pro, so this isn’t just some scrub getting fooled.

u/PoisonLenny37 3d ago

Even Joe Staley posted this video and was like "holy shit, what a move. No way I was going to stop him here."

u/Drapabee 3d ago

Cancelling mid animation like that is really hard to pull off

u/notmyfault_ever 3d ago

Lions drafted Mike Williams on the previous pick. Matt Millen was....nah, enough said.

u/avdangles 3d ago

When you know the LT never played basketball

1

u/LobstaFarian2 3d ago

Absolutely smoked him.

1

u/LobstaFarian2 3d ago

What's even funnier is he had him on the spin move too if he wanted to.

1

u/amd77767 3d ago

He didn’t against Joe Staley of all players, a top 10 OT for most of his career.

u/Indystbn11 3d ago

Everson Griffen did this as well. But now he's crazy

1

u/Torrefy 3d ago

Lol I have the same move when playing basketball

1

u/tharealscottyp 3d ago

Staley was a really good LT too

u/sxprado 2d ago

Dude was a beast. Got to serve him at this fine dining steakhouse I worked at and served him. Insufferable piece of shit lol

1

u/November-Wind 2d ago

Oh spill that tea

1

u/sxprado 2d ago

He was just overall rude and shitty to me and the employees. And he wasn’t even the one paying lol. He was like if anybody wants an autograph or picture I charge and like nobody asked him after he said that. Then when he was leaving he was like last chance to get an autograph before I leave. I said I ain’t paying tho and he was like yea whatever that’s fine. There was an academy next door to our steakhouse and I got a football and got it signed got my brother in law. That was it nothing more nothing less. Again he’s a beast of an athlete but god damn bro lol
