Kentucky Jet Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 The Jets claimed former Georgia running back Danny Ware on waivers from the Tennessee Titans. Ware had a good freshman year for the Bulldogs, but then didn't do much as a sophomore and junior. He left school early to enter the draft, and wasn't drafted, and signed with the Titans. Ware had a lot of trouble staying healthy in college suffering lung, knee, ankle and hand injuries during his time in Athens. He has good size (6-1, 225 pounds) and runs well between the tackles. Prospect Profiles Danny Ware Height: 6-0 Weight: 225 Position: Running Back/Fullback College: Georgia Copyright NFLDraftScout.com, distributed by The Sports Xchange OVERVIEW Ware's Georgia career began with such great progress, but injuries during his first season and losing his starting job to Kregg Lumpkin as a junior made the big runner decide to leave the university early to tests his wares at the pro level. Strictly a north-south runner, Ware might have been better suited to follow the route of former Tiger Brandon Jacobs (Giants) in stepping down to a lower level of competition to re-establish himself before trying for the NFL. Ware was a 2002 Atlanta Journal-Constitution Top 50 in Georgia, Class AA all-state honorable mention, Prep Star all-region and Rome News Tribune first-team all-area selection at Rockmart High School, where he lettered three times in football. The team captain and two-year MVP choice, he rushed for 1,009 yards and compiled 35 tackles and one interception on defense as a senior. He also amassed 1,003 yards punting (33.4 avg.) with a long of 60 yards. Upon graduation, Ware attended Hargrave Military Academy to improve his academics before enrolling at Georgia. He signed up with the Bulldogs in January, competing in 2004 spring drills. He went on to start eight of 10 games, earning Freshman All-Southeastern Conference honors, but was hampered by lung, hand, knee and ankle problems that limited his playing time most of the season. He also became the first freshman running back to start a season opener since 1943. Ware still finished second on the team with 692 yards and four touchdowns on 138 carries (5.0 avg.). He added 55 yards on seven receptions (7.9 avg.). In 2005, he started just two of 13 games, as the Bulldogs used a "running back by committee" approach. He again ranked second on the team with 101 attempts for 492 yards (4.9 avg.) and one touchdown. He caught seven passes for 118 yards (16.9 avg.) and two scores, adding six yards on a kickoff return. In 2006, Ware was relegated to reserve duty, appearing in 12 games. He was bothered by right knee and ankle woes, rushing just 81 times for 326 yards (4.0 avg.) and three touchdowns. He had 14 receptions for 184 yards (13.1 avg.) and gained 30 yards on a pair of kickoff returns. In 35 games at Georgia, Ware started 10 times. He carried 320 times for 1,510 yards (4.7 avg.) and eight touchdowns. He caught 28 passes for 357 yards (12.8 avg.) and two scores. He also had three kickoff returns for 36 yards (12.0 avg.). ANALYSIS Positives: Has a thick frame with solid chest and arm muscles, good shoulder width, tight waist and thick thighs and calves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowJet35 Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 From an avid SEC fan, Danny Ware can be a solid back for us, he was misfortunate that he was at a college chock full of RBs, if he was at anyother school in any other conference, you are looking at a top 50 pick.

Don't think he would have been a top 50 pick, but the kid is a pretty good RB. His main problem is he can't stay healthy. If he can, IMO he takes Houston's spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Troll Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 I remember he was real good as a freshman. Then he went the way of Justin Vincent and faded into obscurity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Eric at the helm he will get a fair chance to make the roster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
