Hines Ward was born on March 8, 1976 in Seoul, South Korea. But although Ward was born in South Korea, he soon enough made his way to the United States. He has never been the biggest, fastest or strongest player on the football field, but it is safe to say that his will to win is like none other. For this reason Ward has been able to overcome many obstacles on his way to becoming one of the best players in the NFL.

Ward started his football career at Forest Park High School in Georgia. During his high school days he displayed great athleticism from his quarterback position which led him to being named the Offensive Player of the Year in Clay County for both his junior and senior seasons. He also excelled in the classroom where he managed to receive a 3.81 GPA.

After high school Ward decided to take his game to the University of Georgia. Although he played many positions in college, Ward was primarily used as a wide receiver. He finished his career with 1,965 yards on 144 receptions. Being that he also played running back and quarterback he ended up amassing 3,870 total yards of offense.

Despite a solid college career, many NFL teams passed him by in the 1998 Draft. But with the 92nd overall pick the Pittsburgh Steelers decided to choose Ward. This ended up being one of the greatest selections that the Steelers have ever made on draft day.

During his time with the Steelers Ward has been named to four Pro Bowl Teams, and was also named the team’s Most Valuable Player on three occasions. To go along with this he was named Super Bowl MVP in 2005 after he led the Steelers to victory.

Up to this point Hines Ward has had a great NFL career, and it is safe to say that this is going to continue for many years to come.
