Around SBN: The Most Dangerous Division in Sports

It was inevitable. It was going to happen sooner or later.

Against Cincinnati Hines Ward found himself standing on the slidelines watching. For the first time since early 2000, something other than injury had forced spectator status on number 86.

Click here or above for a look at what Hines Ward has meant to the franchise, where he stands among the franchise greats, and how he's handling his demotion.

Great article Hombre

As usual, you hit it on the head. Your article made me a little sad and nostalgic, I will miss #86 being on the field when he is gone. I really hope to see Ward reach all of his milestones this week against Cincy – he got a good portion of the way there last night.

Been a pleasure

watching #86 all these years, from his special team tackles as a rookie, to within 9 catches of 1000. The heart and grit we saw last night from Ben, is certainly representative of the career of Hines Ward. Would love to see a statistic on third down conversions by hall of fame receivers, Ward would definitely rank high in that group. No statistics exist for blocking, but I can’t think of a better blocking WR in NFL history.

It’s also gratifying to hear Antonio Brown and Mike Wallace speak about Ward, #86 deserves credit for mentoring these young receivers.
