Once upon a time, Steelers teammates Hines Ward and Plaxico Burress were among the top receiving tandems in the NFL. Then Burress left Pittsburgh, and several years later, Mike Wallace emerged to partner up with Ward to once again give Pittsburgh a feared receiving tandem.
How would you like to have all three of them, Steelers fans?
According to Gerry Dulac, who covers the Steelers for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Steelers would like to put the unholy Ward/Burress/Wallace threesome together. Here's the tweet:
That's a nice little poke to the ego of Antwaan Randle-El: Sight unseen, the Steelers are willing to cast him aside for a guy who spent the last 21 months telling Goldmouth he can't have his cornbread.
Obviously, Burress won't jump right back onto the field and reproduce his 1,300-yard season of 2002. But if he's got any game left at all, he does give the Steelers receiving corps the one thing they don't have. Wallace has the deep speed, Ward works the possession routes, and Burress can go up and get the jump balls.
It would be fun to see, unless you play defense in the AFC North.
Gracias, NFL Gridiron Gab.
