Randall Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Hines Ward Ed Bouchette, of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, reports Pittsburgh Steelers WR Santonio Holmes made a good first impression on WR Hines Ward when they met last week. Ward would like to help assimilate him into the team's offense, but learned from two past wide receivers about offering such help. Ward said, "If he wants to be helped and asks, I'm more than willing. But for me to go out of the way to try to help somebody, I'm not going to do it. I did that before, and it didn't work." Ward said he was rebuffed by free agent WR Troy Edwards (Lions) and WR Plaxico Burress, currently with the New York Giants, when they were with the team. Ward claimed both first-round draft picks did not respect him because he was drafted in the third-round. He said he took WR Antwaan Randle El, now with the Washington Redskins, under his wing because he asked for help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burress has 10 times the physical abilities that Ward has, yet, he could never supplant Ward from the #1 WR role. Why ? One word........ heart.

It says a lot about 1st round players who think they are stars before really accomplishing anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
