He was voted MVP of Super Bowl XL.
Born to a Korean mother and an African American father, he has become an advocate for ethnic minorities in South Korea.
Ward's versatility has served him well as a professional wide receiver.
Since being drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the third round of the 1998 NFL Draft,
he has earned three team Most Valuable Player (MVP) selections.
He is considered to be one of the best wide outs in the game because of his great hands.
He is also a four-time NFL Pro Bowl selection (2001-2004).
He also had a streak of 4 consecutive 1,000 yard seasons,
which likely could have been extended in the 2005 NFL season if he had not missed a game due to injury.
In 2002, he set a Steelers franchise record for receptions (112), and touchdowns (12),
and was named to his first of two consecutive All-NFL teams.
In the 27-23 win over Arizona Cardinals at the Super Bowl XLIII, Ward played a supporting role,
catching two passes for 43 yards.
