Spencer Ware

Spencer Ware has had sort of an odd career, predominantly doing his work in the background, but shining through in times of need.

Such was the case in 2016 when Ware took over for Jamal Charles and gained just shy of 1,000 yards while averaging 4.3 yards per carry. He was slated to remain the Chiefs’ starter the following season, but a PCL tear landed him on injured reserve and he missed the entire year.

Ware was never able to slide back into the starting role, and has found mixed success in the years since. He appeared in just three games a season ago while bouncing around between the Indianapolis Colts and Chiefs, eventually landing on IR with a shoulder injury.

Ware is now healthy and looking for a new job.
