Hines Ward
DawgPost.com -- Interview with Georgia Great Hines Ward:DawgPost.com columnist Dean Legge recently conducted an exclusive interview with Hines Ward, former Georgia Bulldog and current Pittsburgh Steeler. Ward gained 3,870 all-purpose yards as a running back, receiver, and kick returner during his career at Georgia from 1994-1997. Ward also passed for 918 yards which doesn't include a 413 yard passing performance in the 1995 Peach Bowl against Virginia. Bowl statistics aren't counted in the official record book. "When asked about role models he only talks about his mother. She taught me to treat others the way that I wanted to be treated Ward only knew how to get what he wanted through hard work and sacrifice, something that he learned from his mother first hand. Young Ward raised her son Hines with the help of no one, in a country where she knew no one and did not speak the language. The sacrifices that Young Ward made for her only son are too numerous to name, but clearly Ward appreciates everything that she has done for him.

Hines Ward developed his modesty from his mother, she taught me to always be humble in everything that you do. Perhaps most known while at Georgia for his ability to play several different positions, Hines Ward was never given the credit due for being the team player that winning teams need. His unselfish style gave him the opportunity to give back to his mother, but only after more struggles while in college.

In his four years at Georgia, Hines Ward played several positions. From quarterback, to running back, to wide receiver, Ward was used whenever and wherever the coaching staff needed him. But Ward found himself in situations sometimes where he felt like he was being used to save jobs."
