Why Hines Ward belongs in the Pro Football Hall of Fame

Hines Ward was recently rejected again for the Hall of Fame, and it didn’t draw much attention. Hines Ward is frequently viewed as a good but not great WR who was never in the top tier of WRs during his career. It is easy to follow that line of thought, with Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, Marvin Harrison, Steve Smith, Torry Holt, Reggie Wayne, Derrick Mason, Chad Johnson, Keyshawn Johnson all being players that entered the NFL withing 3 years of Hines’ 1998 Draft class.
