Adopt-a-Player: Hines Ward's Big Day

My guy Hines had quite an impressive day.  He was in on 43 plays yesterday.  He lined up right and left about equally.  He caught two touchdown passes, one from 13 and one from 16 yards out.  He also caught a bomb that was called back.  In addition, there were seven plays that he had a block that helped the ball carrier gain more yardage. That is somewhat significant.  He didn't play in the fourth quarter.  Here is Hines after he was taken out, doing the hat thing, congratulating his teammates:

Hines and Townsend have roomed together

at St. Vincent’s ever since they came into the league together 11 years ago.

I’m as pumped as anybody about Santonio, and I expect BIG things from him this year. Still, Hines is THE MAN.

86

50’s crew has dubbed him “The Marine” because he is the Steelers own Marine Corps.

Amazing

Is there another receiver out there who plays harder off the ball than Hines Ward?
Is there another receiver out there who plays as tough in the middle with as little size/speed?
Is there another receiver out there who combines the two?
