Though he hasn’t played since calling it a career in 2011, former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward remains the best all-around receiver that NBC Sports’ Peter King has ever covered in his illustrious 40-year career.
After selecting Ward for his all-time team Monday thanks to his physicality, production and unselfish attitude, King appeared on the 93.7 The Fan Cook and Joe Show and continued to go to bat for Ward. Though Ward has not yet been able to crack the 15 Hall of Fame finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, King made it quite clear where he stands when it comes to Ward.
