Jerricho Cotchery long admired Hines Ward from afar, the passion he displayed and the intensity he self-demanded while playing a skill position with the physicality and the mindset of a defensive player.

Cotchery found himself thinking, “Now that’s the way to play wide receiver.”

“He just plays the game the right way, tough, hard and physical,” Cotchery said.

it’s definitely going to be different without Hines. Steeler Nation has been seeing No. 86 on the field for the last 15 years, so it’s definitely going to be different,” receiver Emmanuel Sanders said. “Up in our receivers room, it’s definitely going to be different. But Jerricho, Antonio (Brown) and myself are going to lead the room in the right direction. The way Hines taught us.”

Sounds like Sanders gets it as well. I'm becoming just fine with the idea of having "just" Brown, Cotchery, and Sanders as our top 3 receivers. That's still pretty damn good in my humble opinion.
