The Pittsburgh Steelers were one of the best teams in the league in the 2000s. Their defense was a big part of that. That group was teeming with talent. Currently, Troy Polamalu is the only member of that unit to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. However, Dick LeBeau, the Steelers’ defensive coordinator from 2004-2014, thinks that Ryan Clark played a big part in Polamalu’s success, too.
“I think if Troy were here talking to you right now, he would say that Ryan Clark is as responsible for him being in the Hall of Fame as himself,” LeBeau said recently on RESLV’s YouTube channel.
