Walk into some clubs and discover the cream of the crop. The Duquesne Club, the 600 Home Run Club, the Playboy Club and the club with the half-Korean, half-African American knocking on its door to get in.

They usually don't open doors and barriers for Hines Ward, he knocks them down. He has accomplished just about everything there is in football, with one personal goal left, to join a club that is among the most exclusive in sports. Only seven players in the history of the NFL have had 1,000 pass receptions in their careers. Hines Ward is poised to become the eighth............

I would love to see this as well, but think in spot in Canton is already waiting for him. Particularly looking at some to the ones that just went in.

i would think that he would be a HOFer, but i also thought a few other steelers would be in the hall by now that are not. i hope he gets his 1000 catches

Great to see him have such an upbeat mindset. Those are the kind of players who get into the HOF and I know Ward is well on his way regardless.

Yeah sounds cute, but a 3rd Super bowl ring would make him a lock in the HOF.

If he is able to play 2 more seasons he will definitely get there. I want to see it, he deserves it.

Arians also noticed something different about Ward in this training camp.

"He looks spryer than he did last year. I think getting the knee cleaned out [is the reason]. It swelled on him a lot last year.

I think that has helped, losing a little weight through the dancing and I'm sure that dancing stuff tightened up his core. He looks good."

LOL! I am telling you folks, Hines' grueling stint on DWTS REALLY got him in great off season shape!

He'll get that milestone this season. And hopefully that third Super Bowl ring too.

I agree 1 more ring would give him 3 also MVP of XL.

I think hes a lock to get 1000 catches barring injury this yr its only 46 catches. thats like a little less then 3 catches per game.

Then the Steelers would truly have three different prolific types of WRs in the HoF.

He only needs 46 and he caught 59 last year. I see him getting it this season pretty easily if he stays healthy of course.
