DeMarcus Ware clearly relishes playing in his first Super Bowl. And it's clear he'd like to share the experience with some of his former Cowboys teammates.

Ware has been asked on at least two occasions if there is anyone from those Dallas teams he wishes could be in San Francisco preparing to play in Sunday's game. Each time the first player the Denver linebacker mentioned is tight end Jason Witten.

"DeMarcus is one of my all-time favorite teammates,'' Witten said. "He is the ultimate team guy. He is a phenomenal player, leader and teammate.

"I am excited he finally gets to play in the big one. I will be pulling hard for him on Sunday.''
