Saturday night in Southern California, a Pittsburgh Steelers legend was enshrined into his alama mater’s athletic Hall of Fame. The legend was none other than Troy Polamalu.
Polamalu, who starred at USC before being drafted by the Steelers, has now been a part of two Hall of Fames. Last year he was enshrined into the Samoan Sports Hall of Fame, and now the USC Hall of Fame.
There is only one Hall of Fame left for Polamalu, and that would be the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I don’t think anyone wonders if Polamalu finds a permanent home in Canton, OH, but whether he is a first ballot hall of famer is certainly debated in league circles.
