Wide receiver who wears in Hines Ward Steelers jersey looks as “spry” as ever, according to offensive coordinator Bruce Arians, and it’s showing on the field.

The veteran receiver in Pittsburgh Steelers jerseys enters his 14th NFL season and is coming off a pair of offseason surgeries to his knee and thumb. He even began training camp on the physically unable to perform list. But since returning to practice, 35 years old Ward looks as fresh and limber as ever.

Part of that can be attributed to his offseason training for Dancing with the Stars, which allowed him to be even more flexible. Ward had only 59 catches last season, his lowest total in 10 seasons, but that doesn’t stop him being one of Ben Roethlisberger’s most reliable targets.

He still does a good job using his body to shield off defenders to make critical third-down catches and keep the chains moving. From my point of view, it might be not a bad idea for those football players to take part in dance training.
