Many Steelers’ fans wanted the organization to hire Hines Ward to be their new wide receivers coach last season. That didn’t happen but Ward now has a new, albeit perhaps temporary, gig.
The New York Jets announced Ward has been hired as a coaching intern throughout training camp. He’ll join former Jet players D’Bickashaw Ferguson and Calvin Pace helping out this summer. From the Jets’ website:
“Jets legends D’Brickashaw Ferguson and Calvin Pace will serve as the team’s two Nunn-Wooten Scouting Fellowship participants and Steelers’ great Hines Ward is among the Green & White’s quartet of Bill Wash coaching interns.
