The Steelers landed a first-ballot Hall-of-Famer back in 2003 with Troy Polamalu. Here’s why he would be well out of Pittsburgh’s reach in a re-draft.

The first-ballot Hall-of-Famer was a four-time All-Pro, two-time Super Bowl Champion, and Defensive Player of the Year award winner despite starting just 5 full seasons out of 12 in the NFL.
