Troy Polamalu became the first Pittsburgh Steelers’ player inducted as a first-ballot Hall of Famer since 2009 when DB Rod Woodson was enshrined during his first year of eligibility. And the first to spend the vast majority of his career in black and gold since 1990 when Jack Lambert and Franco Harris were elected.
Polamalu was a generational talent but his success didn’t come alone. He was part of an elite defense, coached by Hall of Famer Dick LeBeau. LeBeau joined Sirius’ Lance Medow for a fantastic, 21-minute interview to reminisce about Polamalu career and those great 2000s Steelers’ defenses.
