If you did not know his name before this season, you sure do now... that guy can flat out play! great instincts, toughness, intelligence, the whole package. The steelers front office has been doin' their homework at draft time.

One of the greatest things I heard anyone say this past weekend was made by Dan Marino on the pregame show leading up to Pittsburgh's win over Denver. He said that Troy Polamalu was like a Steve Smith. After watching Smith kill Chicago, I have to 100% agree with this. That man CAN PLAY!!! He's all over the field. I've seen him blitz from the linebacker spot, play a short zone, a deep zone, cover a guy and even lay the first hit on a run play. I think the only thing he doesn't do is return kicks and punts. Way to go man!

I agree Troy Palamalu is an extrordinary athlete.He seems to have come out of nowhere. What year and round did he get drafted? I have one problem, the length of his locks. It's a good thing thing he's on defense, if someone grabbed a handfull of his locks they'd rip off his head. The UNIT, AND JOHNNY DAMON ,had to cut their locks to play for NY. If it doesn't fit under the helmet, clip it! !

I believe he was a first round pick and he was a rookie last year. I might be wrong on that though.

My bad. His rookie year was 2003.

He can play for sure, but as a Bengals fan, that made me want to throw up.

Polamalu is like Howard Cosell used to say "The man is an antelope..." !!!!!!!!!!!

DRAFT INFO***Troy was the Steelers 1st round pick (16th overall) in the 2003 draft from USC! What an animal, he's a great fit for the team, but what a fit he would have been along side Mel Blount and Mike Wagner in the 70's!

DRAFT INFO***Troy was the Steelers 1st round pick (16th overall) in the 2003 draft from USC! The Steelers needed a safety and traded up to get him. There was a lot of criticism at the time for that trade up.

But hey, imagine if they DIDN'T make that deal. But enough about Troy, what about the other members of that Pittsburgh defense. That front seven is SCARY. They don't have any strong DBs other than Polamalu, but who cares. If you can't run on these guys, you're pretty dead as is.
