One of the semi-finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame is former Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu. This is Polamalu’s first time on the ballot but he has a strong chance to get in the first time around. Polamalu was on the Jim Rome Show on Tuesday and was forever his humble self when he talked about being a semi-finalist but as he was as a player, Polamalu was humble and talked about his teammates who he felt are just as deserving.
Especially coming from the team that I’ve been a part of — thank God — for the 12 years that I played for the Steelers. There’s definitely more than a handful of players that I know that I’ve played with that are more deserving of this award.
It’s very honorable for Polamalu to say this but the reality is Polamalu was one of the most dynamic and dominant players of his era. Check out Polamalu’s full interview in the video above.
