Ask any fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers if Troy Polamalu should be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame on his first ballot, and 100% of fans will respond with a resounding, “YES!”
Too bad Polamalu doesn’t feel that way.
In a recent interview with CBS Sports’ host Jim Rome, Polamalu was asked about his feelings regarding being a first ballot semi-finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. His response was on par with his humble demeanor. He spoke about how football is such a team game, and he wouldn’t be in the position he finds himself without others around him.
