The New York Jets have hired former NFL wide receiver Hines Ward as a full-time offensive assistant.
Ward was one of the team's four Bill Walsh coaching interns and spent training camp working with Jets wide receivers coach Shawn Jefferson.
"He's a great resource because he's done it at a high level consistently," Jets receiver Robby Anderson said. "He's a future Hall of Famer so what more can I ask for? I'm picking his brain, and he's more so telling me than I'm asking him, and I'm just staying on top of him.
