Hines Ward Talks Legacy As Elite Blocking Receiver: ‘Sometimes It’s Good, Sometimes It’s Bad”

Talking to Fanatics View about his new role as head coach of the San Antonio-based XFL team, former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward discussed his legacy and being known as one of the best blocking wideouts of all time.

“You know, sometimes it’s good. Sometimes it’s bad because I’ve caught a lot of balls as well, Ward said. “For me, it was just about being the complete wide receiver. I didn’t get enamored with stats. I just wanted to win. And I think that’s something when you mention the Pittsburgh Steelers and, especially during the 2000s, that was something that we did consistently.
