Player Update: DeMarcus Ware, LB

Source: RotoTimes.com

DeMarcus Ware has been named as the first winner of the NFL's Butkus Award, which names the league's top linebacker, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. Aaron Curry of Wake Forest won the college version, and Manti Te'o of Punahou School in Honolulu won the high school award.

Our View: Ware lost out to James Harrison for the Defensive Player of the Year award, but he wins this prize? Does that make Ware the defensive version of Drew Brees?
