Andre Trevor Ware (born July 31, 1968) is an American sports analyst and commentator, and a former professional football quarterback.
Ware played college football for the Houston Cougars, winning the Heisman Trophy and Davey O'Brien Award in 1989.
[5] That season - his junior year - averaging 52 passes per contest (365-of-578, 63.1%), he threw for 4,699 yards (427.18 yds/g or 127 yds/quarter), 46 touchdowns,[6] and set 27 NCAA records over the span of 11 games, seven of which he sat during the fourth quarter.
[11] Head coach Wayne Fontes overrode the advice of the team's scouting director, who resigned the next day.
Ware joined the Lions for the 1990 season, teaming with the previous Heisman Trophy winner from 1988, Barry Sanders.
Fontes generally only played Ware when the Lions were out of the playoffs or already losing a game by a wide margin.
[3] Ware also played in the Canadian Football League with the Ottawa Rough Riders, the BC Lions and the Toronto Argonauts (where he backed up fellow Heisman winner Doug Flutie).
