Ward on ‘bittersweet’ game vs. Steelers: ‘I still want to beat those guys’

Hines Ward is forever a Steelers legend. Nobody will dispute that.

Ward, who was a third-round pick of the Steelers in 1998, played the entirety of his 14-year career in the Steel City, becoming the franchise's all-time leader in receptions (1,000), yards (12,083) and touchdowns (85). Antonio Brown (837 receptions, 11,207 yards, 74 touchdowns) approached Ward's numbers, but we all know how that one ended.

Besides setting the team records, though, Ward won two Super Bowls with the Steelers and was the MVP of Super Bowl XL. He was also chosen alongside Lynn Swann and John Stallworth at receiver for the Steelers' all-time team in 2007.
