The 5 Toughest Players I Ever Faced
Didn't see this and know you guys will love it. It's an article written by Demarcus Ware. Written with his truth and humor. Some good gifs to go along with the story too.

When I first got to Denver, in 2014, Von Miller put a spark in me.
I’ve always been fast, and I knew that Von was fast, too. But I thought there was no way he was faster than me.
But he was faster. Like, next-level fast.
I remember one of the first times I lined up with Von — me on the right side, him on the left — and I jumped the snap. I timed it perfectly. But when I looked down the line of scrimmage, Von was already gone. He had gotten a better jump.
I was like, No way. He had to be offsides….
But he wasn’t. He’s just that quick off the line.
You see that? By the time number 71 takes his kick step, Von is already gone, like he got shot out of a cannon. On the replay, the guy on the teleprompter with the yellow pen can’t even draw on the screen before Von gets to Tom Brady — and Tom gets the ball out of his hands quicker than any quarterback in history.
Von also has a killer spin move, but he does it different than most guys.
I did my spin move like Dwight Freeney, who’s famous for his. I rip my arm through the tackle and get him to put his weight on me, thinking he’s using my momentum against me to push me out of the play. Then I use his momentum against him and spin out from underneath to get him off balance, and I’m free.
But when Von does his spin move, he doesn’t rip through to one side. He bull-rushes the guy straight up, and as soon as he hits the tackle and gets him on his heels or with his hands out in front of him, Von spins off, and he’s able to use his next-level speed to get around the block before the tackle has a chance to regroup.
