Cowboys' Lawrence working out with DeMarcus Ware

A former All-Pro Cowboys pass-rusher is helping a current Dallas standout sharpen his craft.

DeMarcus Ware, who starred for the Cowboys from 2005-13 before finishing his career with the Denver Broncos (2014-16), is mentoring another DeMarcus in edge rusher DeMarcus Lawrence this summer, helping the 26-year-old with an array of pass-rushing moves.

"As a pass-rusher, you always think about consistency," Ware told Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk. "When you think about DeMarcus Lawrence - first, second, third year, now he had that big push last year. Now, it's what have you done for me lately? It's a new year. He has to look at it that way. What can you put in your toolbox this year to make yourself a little bit more consistent, because now you're going to have that bullseye on you. But also, how can you make the other guys better with your leadership? That's going to make you a lot better inside the room, on the team, but also out there on the football field."

Ware is one of the most decorated defensive players of his generation, recording 138.5 sacks, leading the NFL in sacks twice, being named to nine Pro Bowls, and helping the Broncos win Super Bowl 50.

Lawrence is clearly welcoming the legendary pass-rusher's advice.

"Pass-rusher to pass-rusher, you always want to learn something new to up your game," Lawrence said. "That's what he's coming out here to do - help us."

Lawrence was named a second-team All-Pro and went to his first Pro Bowl in 2017 after recording 58 tackles, 14.5 sacks, and four forced fumbles. Coming off a career season, he could only stand to improve with the help of one of the greatest Cowboys of all time.
