Hines Ward Football Cards

About Hines Ward

Oh man, Hines Ward was such a beast for the Steelers back in the day. This guy was the ultimate team player, you know, came from Alabama and Pittsburgh just molded him into this perfect weapon for their championship runs. Ward was famous for his blocking as much as his receiving, which is rare for a wideout, and he had this nasty streak that defensive backs absolutely hated going up against. He was a key piece of those Super Bowl winning teams in the 2000s, and collectors love him because he represents that old school Steelers toughness. Since he doesn't have rookie cards, his early career stuff and autographed pieces tend to hold the most value.

The process of making a Steeler is not that different from making steel itself. Take the raw materials, Pittsburgh shaped and refined the Alabama pass-catcher in the forge of practice until he was ready to help build a champion.

The Steelers found a true diamond in the rough when they drafted Hines Ward in the third round of the 1998 NFL Draft. The former Georgia quarterback has developed into one of the most reliable receivers in the game, and his willingness to block downfield has made him a favorite of his coaches and teammates.

Dad’s Take on Hines Ward

Look at this guy grinning like he just found a twenty in his old jeans while running around with a football! That smile's so big you could probably see it from the cheap seats – which is where I'd be sitting if I wasted money on Steelers tickets. They talk about forging him like steel, but all I see is a guy who looks like he's having way too much fun at his day job!
