Loved Hines Ward and how he played the game and actually out there blocking.

Some may not know but he played his whole career without an ACL in one of his knees.

Also a small tid bit, he was like 80 yards away from passing for a 1000 yds in his college career to go along with rushing for over 1000 and receiving over 1000.


I would love to see another Steeler going in (presume Faneca makes it at some point) but I don't know.......He was good for a long time. 1000 catches should almost be a benchmark.

BUT while watching him I am not sure I would have put him as one of the best playing the game at any one given time so therefore if he doesn't make it....I can understand



but the 1000 catches....
 
A class headlined by 3 first-ballot HOFers seems the perfect time to including a G. Why would there be a Steelers hangover?
 
Faneca & Hutchison are arguably the two best players at their position over the last 20 years, seems ridiculous they wouldn't be in regardless of what position it is.
