Will Hines Ward get the call from Canton, and be enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame?

If you look at his statistics, he has the statistics.
If you look at his Super Bowl statistics, he has definitely been at his best with three Super Bowl appearances, two Super Bowl rings, and one Super Bowl MVP award.
If you like at the length of time he has played, he played consistently for a good twelve years or so.
Was he ever a top wide receiver though? Never, at any point in his career, was he the top receiver in the league, or even the conference.
He has always been a possession receiver. He's the guy you would rely on on 3rd downs. He's the guy who you wanted to have the ball when you needed someone to get the chains moving and convert on a third down.
He has been a Steelers fan favorite for a long time.
He simply has an amazing love for the game.
He's a receiver not only known for his catches, but he's feared for his blocking abilities.

It looks like he will be parting with the Steelers. He may retire, or he may go to another team.

What do you think will happen, and do you think we will see him making an acceptance speech in Canton one day?
 
I think he'll get into the Hall. He's got the stats, the rings, and the clean career. Possibly on the first ballot, but if he doesn't get it the first time around, I'd say definitely the second.
 
He's a definite Hall of Famer. Maybe not First-Ballot, but eventually. He was a great player, and like Cmt said, he has the stats. Also a Super Bowl MVP looks really good.
 
Yeah I think he's definitely earned a spot in the Hall of Fame. Either first or second ballot imo.
 
No doubt Hines will get to the Hall. Maybe not on the first ballot, because, like Cmt said, he has never been the best in the league. But he'll get in.
 
An amazing player, he's what I like to call a person who work their hardest and makes the most of his abilities throughout his career. Future Hall of Famer no doubt.

Well, he did have a DUI last year. :P
