KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) _ The Chiefs’ Spencer Ware learned a lot from Marshawn
Lynch during his short time in Seattle.
For one thing, Ware learned to generally keep his mouth shut.
For another, he learned to run like a beast. Ware, who ran for 77 yards and
caught a 48-yard touchdown pass in KC’s 24-21 win Sunday says Lynch was “always
demonstrating” so Ware was able to see his work ethic day in and day out. Coach
Andy Reid says Ware has “great feet and vision.”
When Ware signed a future contract with the Chiefs on New Year’s Eve after his
first two seasons in Seattle, Ware got with it a fresh start. He earned a spot
on the team as a hybrid fullback in training camp, then earned important carries
when four-time Pro Bowl running back Jamaal Charles went down with a knee
injury.
The Chiefs thought so highly of his performance that they signed him to a
two-year, $3.6 million contract that must have seemed unfathomable considering
where he’d been a year earlier.
