Ward set to retire
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward is expected to announce his retirement from the NFL.
Ward is a borderline Hall of Fame wide receiver who was best known for his crunching blocks, often many of which were considered cheap shots.
The wideout helped the Steelers win two Super Bowls during his time in Pittsburgh and his grin after taking big hits helped make him the face of the franchise.
Ward finishes his career with over 1,000 catches, but he was eventually benched in favor of younger receivers this year.
While he could obviously still change his mind, it seems that Ward may see the writing on the wall when it comes to Pittsburgh.
