The way he breaks down as soon as he starts talking about Steeler Nation just shows you how passionate this fan base is! Proud to be a member of Steeler Nation! 💛🖤

6 years, it feels like just yesterday I was watching Hines and HEATTTTHHH 😭😭

Hines is the Steelers G.O.A.T... A legitimate iron man and complete professional. As a life long Steeler fan...I love him. He embodied what Steeler football truely is in every form. He deserves to be in the HOF and he actually has enough stats to make it happen.

Thank you Hines for 14 years of memories. Your smile was electric. You’re a class act.

Take notes a.b. from a REAL receiver!! Black and gold for life!!!

Its 2022...& Ben has just retired as well. End of an Era. Thank you for the great memories

Thank you Hines. Watching you play always with a huge smile on your face will always be burned into my memory. Steeler nation loves you

4 min in bro, I can't watch no more....GOAT!

I came back to this video so many years later to make me feel better about our current WR status. I grew up watching him and honestly wouldn’t have wanted another WR in all of NFL history. Hines was such an amazing player and person and I’m so proud to call him a Pittsburgh Steeler and one of my heroes. Hines taught me loyalty, toughness, and respect. He showed what it takes and what it means to be a Pittsburgh Steeler. Appreciate your good players y’all. Cuz they’ll appreciate you just as much.

damn seeing all these comments mentioning AB, it really just occurred to me that the Steelers really ARE a different caliber of organization. Like yeah, if you’re good enough you can make it to the league, get drafted, whatever. But you gotta be a special kind of person to be chosen by the Steelers and to make it here. Our legacy is greatness and it’s not to be messed with. If you go out there and put in your hardest days work every Sunday, you will be loved and remembered by Pittsburgh forever. That’s what Hines did for us. I can’t wait to see him in Canton.

I’m from Philly. And his jersey is the only jersey I own that’s is not Philly related.

Thank you so much Hines for everything you’ve done for us. Steeler for life!

My god what a true Steeler. We miss you!

Touching then, touching now- Much respect HW, Steelers forever!

Hines Ward needs to be in the NFL Hall of Fame

What a class act... We love you, Hines!!! 🖤💛

ONe of the greatest who ever played, always will be respected

My guy T_T Ward, Bettis, Randle El, Polamalu, Farrior, Keisel, Hampton... god what a team... Steeler Nation 4 life!

PLEASE COME BACK TO THE STEELERS AS A COACH!!!! WE MISS YOU HERE IN PITTSBURGH!!! 🏈😎🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🏈

Best hands in Pittsburgh

Been real fortunate my family and I get to know Hines back in his days at Forest Park high and even coming to some practices of ours every once in a while. Truly a great man

One of the best I've seen 👍👍👍🏈🏈🏈

He is bar none the greatest Steeler of all-time!!!

Miss em he's everything we need at WR rn

The Greatest Steeler of all-time period point blank!!!!!!

I will always love you bro the hardest wr there ever was 💪😎😎

We've fallen so far as an organization. We need this kind of commitment with the current roster.

Thank you Mr. Ward I grew up watching you. You are a Steeler and you will always be loved by Steeler nation !

Who dosent love Hines Ward?

Love ya Hines! Ever pass through NC and I will be you a beer or 10! haha... seriously, YOU are one of the very best Steelers!

I wasn't planning on crying damn

That's a brilliant tie.

The greatest years of watching the Steelers play are always going to be memories of Bettis dragging fools for that last yard, Heath with hands like glue and blocking like a damn wall, Big Ben in the pocket for years waiting for that golden opportunity and if it didn't come he ran like hell, defense doing nasty all the fucking time with Polamalu/Clark/Harrison/Woodley/Ike, Da Beard too many to name, and Holmes and especially Ward and that cheeky smile and when he wasn't smiling he was the dirtiest WR blocker on the field. What a hell of a time to watch you all. I will miss the weekends at the sports bars with my dad and brother. Hines, you gave us a gift. We love you.

Love you Heinz!

If you had a roster of 53 guys that played with the same intensity, determination and class of HW you'd damn near never lose a game!!! Hopefully he's in the HOF one day!!

Class

5 years and this is still the saddest retirement speech I've ever seen

You make me cry too..

Snubbed by the hall of fame

Miss ya Hines

Hines ward is like Dirk nowitzki - loyal to his home team

He Were Go!

This man said go to the Ravens never that that's loyalty this man could have made more millions he had a little juice left in him but rather retired as a stealer.

18:16 AB didn't listen when u preached...😬

They should make a league for older players lol. Like the stipulation for signing with a team In that league is at least 10 years in the nfl or 35 years of age. That'd give a lot of these guys an extended sense of purpose. Especially for the ones that dont want to be coaches or work in the media. Really, it's hard to get into a new career (even if it's in a similar field to your original profession) when you retire. Run this league during the nfl offseason.. lol. I know it's kind of a silly idea, but I'd watch a bunch of old dudes play football lol

To think if he didnt get released/ retire Antonio Brown prob wouldnt have started

Damn I thought he retired a couple years ago lmao

Dab first view

With Guys like Hines still backing up the Steelers we know we will bounce back from the loss of two Losers like Bell and the Massively EGO driven Receiver Joke.

Lol
