The NFL Hall of Fame ceremony is one of the best moments of the offseason.
Many of the game’s legendary players come back to Canton, Ohio to support the new class of Hall of Famers.
Amongst the many legends inducted into the Hall of Fame this year, one was DeMarcus Ware.
Ware spent his 12-year career playing for the Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos.
Over that time he was able to play with many different teammates.
Unfortunately, a few of his teammates passed away far too young.
The three players Ware mentioned are Demaryius Thomas, Ronnie Hillman, and Marion Barber.
Ware wanted to pay tribute to them by leaving seats reserved at his induction in their honor.
DeMarcus Ware saved three seats at his Hall of Fame induction speech for his former teammates Demaryius Thomas, Ronnie Hillman and Marion Barber, all of whom passed away far too young.
An incredibly heartfelt moment. 🙏

Ware always left a major impact on any locker room that he entered.
He was always a great teammate and someone that players wanted to be around.
It makes sense that he made this incredible gesture to his late teammates.
Ware enters the Hall of Fame with 138.5 career sacks.
That number ranks him ninth all-time.
Also, he made nine Pro Bowls and four All-Pro teams.
He was also a Super Bowl champion in 2015 with the Broncos.
Ware embodies everything that a Hall of Fame player and person should be.
This gesture he made during his speech goes to show that he is always thinking about other people.
The families of Thomas, Hillman, and Barber will remember this moment for the rest of their lives.
