Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward played with new Colorado State coach Mike Bobo when the two were at Georgia. And Bobo used the connection with Ward to bring the now-NBC analyst to CSU to speak to his team.
Ward hit on a very similar thing that another NBC analyst, Tony Dungy, did when he spoke to the Texas Longhorns, saying "Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard."
When speaking to Texas, Dungy told the team that talent isn't everything when it comes to winning Super Bowls.
Bobo was Georgia's starting quarterback in 1997 with Ward as the team's leading receiver. The Bulldogs won the Outback Bowl over Wisconsin at the end of the season. Before replacing Jim McElwain as the Rams' coach after the 2014 season, Bobo was the offensive coordinator at Georgia.
