Pittsburgh Steelers fans are pretty excited about the latest incarnation of their team’s defense. It helps to have four Pro Bowl players, all of whom are definitely returning next season and likely for years to come, with the possible emergence of another Pro Bowler or two shortly down the line.
As exciting as that is to see, and as much of a breath of fresh air Minkah Fitzpatrick has been at the safety position, I’m sure everybody can admit that it pales in comparison to the privilege of having watched Troy Polamalu work for over a decade in the Steelers’ defense during the 2000s in particular.
