Hines Ward References ‘Special Teams’ & ‘Toughness’ As Important Lessons Learned From Cowher And Tomlin

Appearing on SportsCenter this morning, former Steelers WR Hines Ward spoke from Jackson State University which was the location for an HBCU Showcase. When show host Jay Harris asked Ward about the impact his former head coaches had on him as a player during his career and how that will help him now as a future head coach for an XFL franchise, Ward focused on an aspect of the game often overlooked, but still vital to success when speaking on the impact of coach Bill Cowher.

“Well, Coach Cowher, he’s very intense,” Ward said on SportsCenter shown on ESPN Monday morning.
