While this isn’t news pertaining to the Pittsburgh Steelers, it is something we would ordinarily cover, so here it is. It was announced yesterday that former Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward, who was serving as a coaching intern with the New York Jets this offseason, has been hired by the team full-time as an assistant coach working with the wide receivers.
There were many, of course, who wanted to see Ward serve in a similar capacity with the Steelers. Afterall, he has caught more passes for more yards and more touchdowns than anybody else in team history, and was also a crushing blocker, so one would think that he knows a little something about playing the position.
