Steelers Front Office Member Recalls Day Team Traded Up For Troy Polamalu

It’s been rare for Kevin Colbert to like a player so much he’s willing to trade up in the first round for one. It happened this past year with Devin Bush, who looks like a home run selection. It happened with Santonio Holmes in 2006, which brought them their 6th and most recent Lombardi in the trophy case. But it first happened with Troy Polamalu in 2003, one of the best decisions Colbert has ever made. Player Personnel Coordinator Dan Rooney Jr. gave a nugget of insight into that draft day.
