Hines Ward, who many of you know as the guy who probably screwed over your fantasy football leagues with inconsistent play, only to dazzle in the real-world playoffs after he’d lost his fantasy use, is coming to The Walking Dead. Ward, who also appeared in last year’s The Dark Knight Rises and won season 12 of Dancing with the Stars, is attempting dominate television and film now. He’s working as a sports commentator for NBC, working on the Food Network, and preparing for the Ironman world championships.
He got the gig on The Walking Dead through a friend, IronE Singleton (T-DOG!), with whom Hines attended the University of Georgia, where T-Dog was also a football player. No word on whether Ward’s speaking line will be “Aaaahhhhhrrrrr,” or “Gahrrrrrr.”
The second half of season three returns on February 10th. Full image of Ward after the jump.

Well, they couldn’t have a 2nd living black guy on there. I bet he only attacks survivors from the blindside. Crackback zombie!!!!!

BEN RONGRASTNAAAAAAAAAAAINS
very well done.
BLLLLAAAAAIIIIIINNNNNSSSS
HGH is a serious drug.
NUMBEL ONE ARRR-TIME SMIRRRE ZOMBIE
I don’t really watch the foosballs so I have no idea who this guy is, but it looks like they stepped up the zombie make-up for the next half of season 3.
Still probably sounds better as a zombie than he does as a commentator
The producers stated after the winter finale that the make up department were aging and weathering the zombies to coincide with the time lapse of the show.
Hines Ward as a zombie is essentially historical reenactment compared to him running back a kickoff for a touchdown in TDKR.
why u no smile, Hines?
So he looks the exact same as his last year in Pitt then?
They could have cast Charlie Batch and saved on the make-up.

this will be a zombie kill im particularly gonna be excited for……
I have a feeling Hines will get at least 2 kills in before he’s put down by Daryl.
So where are the make-up effects? Just looks like a former NFL star…
So when they thought “semi-recognizable face for a stumbling, slow-moving, uncoordinated threat to the team” they went to Hines Ward? Sounds about right.
Half Black, half Asian, all zombie.
Obviously Glen is going to have to dispatch Zombie Hines, alla 1960 Kung Fu movie action with dubbed over monologue!
This is overkill. The show was already almost too scary for Keith Rivers.
Zombie O Face? Zombie O Face.
Ugh, another Spawn remake.
So the one surviving member of the Gotham Rogues ends up as a zombie? Ugh TV is so racist these days.
hines ward is unbearable as an announcer on nbc, not even mentioning costas’ faggot ass. so i think even he would be able to fuck up acting as a zombie.
You just know that even as a zombie he will probably get more lines than T-Dog did
Cleveland and Baltimore fans will be complaining that his style of flesh eating is cheap and unsportsmanlike.
