Hall of Fame S Troy Polamalu gave the Pittsburgh Steelers 12 great years of his stellar play. When reflecting on some of the signature moments of his career—and there were many of them—one that sticks out above the rest that perfectly encapsulates Polamalu as a player was timing snaps and jumping over the line of scrimmage to end a play before it had a chance to begin.
He possessed an uncanny knack for timing snaps and his athleticism to leap over offensive linemen made him a constant threat anytime he roamed near the line of scrimmage. Polamalu appeared on several podcasts and television shows this past week to promote a commercial he is a part of and rehashed a number of key moments from his career including James Harrison’s 100-yard interception return for a touchdown in Super Bowl XLIII.
