LOS ANGELES — It turns out a former Broncos linebacker also has a great singing voice.
DeMarcus Ware was revealed Wednesday to be in the Koala costume performing on the FOX singing competition "The Masked Singer."
The 2023 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee was eliminated from the competition, having to remove his mask, alongside former "Bachelor" contestant Colton Underwood Wednesday night.
Ware had anonymously performed the Tears for Fears classic "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" before his elimination.
"It was awesome," Ware said. "All my life I've always wore a mask, but I sacked quarterbacks doing that. And now I put on the koala mask and no one knew who I was, and so the personality of me actually came out. I got to have fun."
In 2018, Ware competed on season 27 of "Dancing with the Stars" where he finished in seventh place with professional partner Lindsay Arnold.
The former Denver Broncos and Dallas Cowboys linebacker also sang the national anthem at the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio, last August, the same week he was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
An Alabama native, Ware spent his first nine seasons with the Cowboys before joining the Broncos in 2014, and was a key member of a Broncos team that won Super Bowl 50 in the 2015 season.
