Hines Ward
He was MVP of Super Bowl XL for the winning Pittsburgh Steelers team; He was an integral part of the Super Bowl XLIII winning Pittsburgh Steelers
Ward's impact on the Steelers' success during the 2000s cannot be overstated. He was a central figure in the team's offensive strategy, known for his physical style of play and willingness to block downfield, a rare trait for wide receivers. Over the course of his career, Ward recorded over 1,000 receptions, joining an elite group of NFL players to reach that milestone. His leadership and work ethic were instrumental in helping the Steelers secure two Super Bowl championships during his tenure, solidifying his legacy as one of the franchise's all-time greats.
Beyond his playing career, Hines Ward has made a name for himself in the media and coaching realms. He appeared on the popular reality TV show "Dancing with the Stars," where he won the competition, and had brief acting roles in films like "The Dark Knight Rises" and TV series such as "The Walking Dead." Ward also served as a studio analyst for NBC's "Football Night in America" and later joined CNN and HLN as a contributor. In 2019, he transitioned into coaching, starting as an offensive assistant with the New York Jets and later joining Florida Atlantic University as a special assistant to the head coach.
Ward's personal story is equally compelling. Born in Seoul, South Korea, to a Korean mother and African-American father, he grew up in the Atlanta area and has become a prominent advocate for the social acceptance of mixed-race individuals, particularly in Korea. His efforts to promote diversity and inclusion have earned him widespread respect off the field. Today, Ward continues to inspire both as a coach and as a public figure, using his platform to make a positive impact in the world of sports and beyond.
