Jets hire ex-Steeler Ward as offensive assistant
The New York Jets have hired former NFL wide receiver Hines Ward as a full-time offensive assistant.
Ward was one of the team's four Bill Walsh coaching interns and spent training camp working with Jets wide receivers coach Shawn Jefferson.
"He's a great resource because he's done it at a high level consistently," Jets receiver Robby Anderson said. "He's a future Hall of Famer so what more can I ask for? I'm picking his brain, and he's more so telling me than I'm asking him, and I'm just staying on top of him. He's just trying to find ways to get me better in each way."
