Pro Football Hall of Famer and former Pittsburgh Steelers S Troy Polamalu played with a lot of quality people during his career. In his rookie year, he entered a locker room that had legendary players like RB Jerome Bettis, WR Hines Ward, OLB Joey Porter, and DE Aaron Smith. Those players had a big influence on the young safety. He may deflect the praise, but he had the opportunity to pay that forward after the Steelers selected DL Cameron Heyward in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft.
Polamalu joined Brian Batko of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Tuesday’s episode of the Chipped Ham and Football Podcast.
