Former NFL star DeMarcus Ware decided to show up Myles Garrett with his otherworldly leaping abilities.

DeMarcus Ware had an illustrious career with the Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos that saw him make nine Pro Bowls and retire as a Super Bowl champion in 2017.

So why is he in the news now? That would be due to an insane athletic feat he performed in response to Cleveland Browns star defender Myles Garrett jumping 64 inches on a box jump. Ware decided to go even further and made it look easy at the age of 38.

DeMarcus Ware gives Myles Garrett a new benchmark

This is almost superhuman. Ware has been out of the NFL since the 2016 season and can still do stuff like this. To be fair to the Browns star, Ware did in fact take a running start. Garrett did not.

The craziest part about these two jumps is that both players are 6-foot-4 edge rushers. This is not Tyreek Hill flying through the air. But it shows why someone like Garrett can track down Hill on the open field.

Ware being a former edge rusher and doing this at the age of 38 is a whole other level of mind-blowing. Fans can see why players like Ware and Garrett can knock over offensive lineman with the push of a hand. The explosion from that first step is just too much to handle.

Now fans will wait to see if Garrett will respond to Ware’s latest feat. If the Browns defender gets a running start, he may be able to shatter that 66-inch mark. But can he do it when he is 38 years old? He may need to call Ware to learn how he has maintained his NFL-level abilities after retirement.
