Hines Ward Ranks Best Receivers In The Game Today
In an offseason where it seems the only actual football related buzz has been created by player rankings and top ten lists, Hines Ward and the NFL Network give you... a top ten list. The Top Ten Receivers in Football, according to Hines Ward was unveiled on the NFL Network. It is viewable on NFL.com, or skip it if you choose to save yourself from listening to Jamie Dukes and Warren Sapp continually talk over Hines.
One of the most well rounded players at any position in football, Hines' take on the top playmakers at his own position is hard to overlook. His knowledge of the position, and his ability to recognize talent and take part in grooming it in Pittsburgh is well known by Steelers fans everywhere. He's played a big role in the development of Mike Wallace and Santonio Holmes, both were taken under his wing after being drafted by the Steelers out of Ole Miss and The Ohio State respectively.
Hines did not rank himself however, saying that he "was past that now", with his trademark smile showing that he has clearly fine with where his game is at now, even if his best years are behind him in his own opinion.
