With Hines Ward and all his statistical accomplishments, team accomplishments and the way he plays the game i.e. one of if not the best blocking WR in the history of the game, his ability to play hurt, his jaw breaking crack back blocks (see Keith Rivers), great hands, great route running, his never going out of bounds rather handing out punishment like Walter Payton back in the day, the way he played special teams as a young guy covering kicks and punts, blocking punts etc. does this make him the all-time greatest FOOTBALL player in Steelers history?  He has done it all and I love the old-timers like Lambert, Greene, Franco, etc. but I think Hines has to be mentioned in that group of the top 3-5 Steeler FOOTBALL players ever if not the best.  He is one tough football player.

Thoughts?  Agree or Disagree?  Where does he rank among our all-time greats?
