Troy Polamalu Mini-Movie: The Tasmanian Devil Safety! 

Cleveland's best receiver

It’s crazy how someone so humble and soft spoken like Polamalu could strike fear to so many offensive teams.

A safety with 3 sacks in a game!? Troy was something else. That pick six in the AFC Championship Game has to be the loudest Heinz Feild has ever been.

As a Steelers fan, I think is needless to say that I really, really miss watching him play. My favorite player ever 🥺

Nobody else in NFL history played the way Troy did. Truly one of a kind

Imagine being against the Steelers during the time Polamalu was playing, and wondering like "What the hell is he gonna do this time?"

We'll never see a strong safety like him again.

I love how he's never cocky and plays clean football never seen him make a dirty tackle

GAME CHANGER. Nobody could pull off clutch plays like he could. Absolute legend.

This man was pure awesome, I miss those days as a Steelers fan,3/4of the earth is covered by water, the other 1/4 was covered by Troy

He didn't wanna be the best defensive back in nfl history. He didn't wanna be leader of anything. He just wanted to play football, and look where that got him. He did something he loved to do, still he worked at it and did it very well

NFL players these days should study and film this guy on how to tackle an opponent. In an open field tackle. No one ever got away from him no matter where in the field or what size. He brought you down. He hit and ran like a freight train. Man was a Beast and is a Legend. On and Off the field. Miss watching him play. By the way I’m a Packers fan. Football Fan First. Love the Game. Players like Troy is what is missed in Today’s game. Mad Respect!!!

Ray Lewis on the sideline when Troy picked off Flacco, " DID YOU NOT SEE WHERE 43 WAS!!!" Troy will always be adored in Pittsburgh. #SteelerNations finest🖤💛🖤💛

He had the clutch gene he was always there if I can start my team with 1 defensive player to build around I’m taking Troy Polamalu

Madden said it - when the Steelers D needed to make a play, Troy made it. It’s been hard to watch a Steeler game since he retired knowing that the play we need probably isn’t coming.

The uso is a legend. He was playing the game like he achieved Ultra Instinct

Watching this I realize how much I miss watching Troy play.

He was an intelligent player. He watched lots of films and studied the players especially QBs. He played the game with a lot of passion and is a very humble person. One of the best safeties ever.

His most iconic moment was when he lined up in the C-gap against the Colts

Lifetime Bengals fan here. I can’t for the life of me think of a better safety than Polamalu. Absolutely one of the greatest defensive players of all time, and a privilege to watch him play the game.

The team was never the same after he left, damn was he awesome to watch

Can we talk about this mans time of running the football after a pick?? 4:35 Everyone forgets how versatile of a runner he was, he could truly do it all.

Man us Ravens fans couldn’t stand this dude when we played them🤦🏾😭 however we all respected and enjoyed watching him play anyway💯

All the rookie safeties need to watch this video, the fucking GOAT of safeties!!🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

The two dislikes gotta be Ravens fans.I’m British and got in to the NFL about 5 years ago and even I know what a legend Troy is. Hope he gets through COVID ok.

You will never see a better human on the field humble and yet the most tenacious game changer ever

Troy will always be the GOAT at SS in my mind. No one plays the game the way he did. The fact that he's soft-spoken and humble about it makes it that much more enjoyable to watch.

1:16 is one of the greatest runs I've ever seen. A great scoop interception as well - but that run, on many levels...

One of the only player's that still give me goose bumps while watching highlights. Also the only Steeler that I felt the need to buy the white and black jersey. Pittsburgh loves you Troy!!!

That kid was just special! A once in a lifetime talent!

One of the best players on that Steelers defense. They were legendary.

Troy is legendary. Really lives up to the name

The man who made me become a Steelers fan. Goated🐐🐐💯🙏 Also, played for my favorite College

I’m not a Steelers fan by any means, but have huge respect for Troy and the way he played, if more players in the NFL would play with Troys ethics the game would be so much better!!!

I remember that play 6:10 shows how really explosive he was against a prime CJ2K, Polamalu was line up at deep safety at least 30 yards behind the line of scrimmage, and just before the play was snapped he comes rushing down for a tackle for loss. Unreal.

Greatest safety of all time in my eyes

Whats really amazing is how many offensive legends he's made plays on. Whether it's picking off Peyton Manning or cutting off CJ2K and Vick to every other type of defensive play there is. He was absolutely dominant and dynamic against the best of the best for so long.

Troy is such a different type of person. Personally and Professionally. He is truly blessed

The best to ever do it and it’s not even close. Miss watching him play. His sense for the game was 2nd to none. Still to this day, you don’t see anyone making plays like he did. His timing and awareness was incredible. I wish more players aspired to play like him. He probably spent all his free time studying tape and preparing for the next game looking to make that one play to change the game. Nowadays, all these players spend their free time on social media and playing video games/streaming. They care more about their off the field brand than representing the team they play for and the city that worships them.

I cried watching this. I miss that hair on the field, all jokes aside, he’s an absolute legend. And always will be.

Troy really was a once in a generation talent. I've never seen better instincts on the field. It's like you're playing him at Madden and he's watching what plays you pick.

That sacks vs the titans in 2013 had to be the fastest sacks in football history 18:13

One of my favorite players ever loved watching him play

I am not a Steelers fan, but I know that safeties like don’t come around that often. He is one of the best to play that I have seen. He deserves any bit of praise he gets…he was that good.

Troy polamalu catch My vote for the best football player I probably ever seen in my life when it comes to takeaways, tackle for loss, touchdowns big hits splash plays he did it all I've never seen anyone play like him a true Steelers legend

No one in the history of the NFL made plays that Polamalu did. Truly one of the greats

Had absolutely no interest in the Steelers, but absolutely loved watching Troy play because it was always all out effort. He never held anything back and could tell his level of intensity and passion for his position was unmatched.

Started playing Football as a young man in Oregon! My absolute favorite player in NFL history!!!!

One of the most Deadliest safeties. Love this guy

Not a steelers fan. But this dude is a legend. And a even better human. Amazing I got to watch his career what a blessing. Mad Love & Respect.

I loved Troy polumala man absolutely loved him he was my first “mama there goes that man again” people

I watch this every couple months when it pops up! My hero growing up.

Thank you for introducing me to this man Troy Polamolu. His physical, mental and philosophy of the game can be put to use in life. He is so humble.

I’ve got to admit, him lining up in the C-Gap against that Colts was stunning,

He isn’t only one of the most athletic players to play the game but also one of the smartest. The way he could read an offense is almost unheard of. All that talent but you never saw him running his mouth or saying a word. Just pure skill and willpower.

I watched him at USC and followed him at Pittsburg. I thought there would never be another Ronnie Lott but Troy proved me wrong. What a player and a great person too.

The all time best defensive player to play the game. Hands down.

Troy is a beast

I have Never seen a all rounded Athlete in NFL like Troy. He’s agile,explosive, quick he’s ability to react and catch balls inches if not millimeters of the ground is unbelievable, his ability to read plays I can go on and on this dude is in my opinion the Jordan of NFL that’s just my thoughts 🙏🏽

He is one of few steelers who could have played on the legendary 70s teams who came from the New school

Plays he makes you can't even do in madden. St8 LEGEND!

One of my all-time favorite defensive players. This man was simply a BEAST!

Best safety who ever played the game hands down! Miss watching him play ▶️

Got my new Jersey & ticket to Canton for Troys HOF Enshrinement. Can't wait. 🐐 #43

He and the Bus are my two favourite players of all time. Troy was just unbelievable 🖤💛

You can't help but to cheer for a guy like this.

#43, my favorite Steeler ever! My all-time favorite NFL player! Made the Steelers always exciting to watch when he was on the field.

HE PLAYED THE GAME SPIRITUALLY WITH GRACE AND DETERMINATION THE GREATEST SAFETY THAT EVER PLAYED THE GAME. HUMBLE MAN

An incredible competitor. An amazing man.

Regardless of Ed Reed,, Ronnie Lott, or Brian Dawkins, Troy Polomalu is the best safety ever! His love and passion for football is unbelievable, plus, his technical understanding of the game is amazing.

He is a Legend! I remember that Super Bowl Steelers vs Seahawks. Troy (Safety) vs Tatupu (Linebacker). Two Samoan against each other. It was a tough Super Bowl game. Troy and Tatupu are like brothers and from same roots❤❤❤

Imagine being a Ravens fan and having to deal with him 2-3 times a year🥴🥴 #Respect #HOF

God damn what a player!

1rst round Hall of Famer. Great hands, dancing feet, excellent timing, super speed, bone crushing tackler, and very caring and genuine human being.

Grew up watching Troy and Ed Reed!! Two of the best safety of all time.

As a Pats fan I feared and respected Troy's game-changing skills. So exciting to watch and a great guy off the field to boot. The game misses this beast!

I miss that man playing football he was one heck of a football player and I'm not even a Steelers fan but I am a football fan and he definitely made the NFL exciting... God be with you brother see you in the Hall of Fame!

Man!! I miss these days!!!! Ed Reed was a sensational safety! Troy revolutionized the safety position!!!!! Having 3 sacks in one game as a safety???? Unheard of!!! We miss you Troy .....alot!!!!!!

Oh how I miss u Polamalu hands down the goat at Strong safety. We love u.

I grew up in a Patriots household but by the time I was five Steelers were my number one team if I ever have the chance to meet him out would be an HONOR

His timing was fucking insane, EVERY PLAY

Before I and so many of us turned off the NFL permanently in 2020, players like this - with their obsession with excellence but with surprising humility - formed the inspiration that once young boys would watch, and from the motivating actions devote themselves to greatness in life. Be like Bo. Be like Troy.

I don't think Steelers will ever find another player like him in my lifetime. It was the best watching him play even if they didn't win.

Troy had what can’t be taught. Instincts to find and go to the football. He was extremely intelligent on the football field. You either have it or you don’t. 🏈

Every team's offense, even the Steeler's, sighed a breath of relief when he retired.

Troy is the most passionate player I've ever seen play. Left nothing back. The things he could do and they way he studied the plays of all just brilliant. Exactly why he is hall of fame.

Always be a Steeler nation for life! Miss watching this guy on Steelers day! Goat 🐐!

I M O Troy was Mr.Football of the highest caliber ,,,he always will be,,and nobody can ever match him play for play or yard for yard,,,he was the ultimate player,,,,,

The best safety of all time!

Troy Polamalu he's good college football player from University of Southern California

Once in a blue moon u will ever see someone like this again. Appreciate it 🙏 💯 🙌 always

Troy Polamalu was the most stingiest safety in NFL history, always just has a nose for the football

17:05 that hit made him breakdance!!

One of the immortals of defence

as a Ravens fan, He's one them steelers that I actually love seeing play. That Man was ferocious

He is a Monster

Truly the greatest safety to play the game. He was a great athlete and a great sportsman. I wish he had played for my team

As a Ravens fan I have nothing but the utmost respect for Polamalu.
