Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu is one of the greatest safeties to ever play the game, but his talent transcended the position. In ESPN’s ranking of the top 25 players of the 21st century, Polamalu was the only Steelers player to make the list, as he came in at No. 16 in the NFL.
Polamalu was the Defensive Player of the Year in 2010, was a first-team All-Pro four times, a two-time Super Bowl champion and finished his career with 32 interceptions. He’s rightfully in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and will go down as one of the greatest Steelers players of all time.
