DeMarcus Ware to sing national anthem before NFL Hall of Fame Game

Oh, say can you see?” Yep, we see you, DeMarcus Ware!

Former Denver Broncos linebacker DeMarcus Ware has been announced as the singer of the national anthem before the 2023 Hall of Fame game featuring the New York Jets and Cleveland Browns on Aug. 3.

According to the team’s official website, Ware has been musical throughout his life, from growing up in Alabama to his time in Denver. Ware is a member of the band “Mirage” and has been known to use his pipes at other events, such as a community event hosted by the Broncos during his playing time in the Mile High City.

Ware is part of the Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2023, which also features offensive visionary Don Coryell, cornerback Darelle Revis, running back Ronde Barber, linebacker Zach Thomas, left tackle Joe Thomas, and senior inductees Chuck Howley, Joe Klecko and Ken Riley.

Ware is the 11th Denver player to be enshrined in Canton, Ohio. Before Ware, quarterback Peyton Manning and safety John Lynch were the latest to be honored with a gold jacket (2021).

Check out one of Ware’s songs from “Mirage” on YouTube.
