With the Pittsburgh Steelers’ training camp about to get under way, it’s fitting that we hear stories about training camps past. Camp, of course, will be different this year, taking place at Heinz Field rather than Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, but there isn’t much that can be done about that right now.
That does take away the aspect of roommates, though, and recently, former Steelers cornerback Ike Taylor talked about how having Troy Polamalu as his roommate, especially early on in his career, fit him like a glove.
“Troy, he’s just got a calm sense about him, regardless of what’s going on, and at training camp, that’s what you kind of need, because everything can just pretty much turn into a blur”, he told his co-host, Mark Bergin, on the Bleav in Steelers podcast.
