“The first thing that we do is pray” islander style gym to the GOAT
My first time at training camp Troy was running up the steps to go to the weight room and he high fives everyone except me and a friend of mine, we yell Troy he sees us and runs over just to acknowledge two random kids. That’s when I knew he was a good person, then as I got older hearing everything he’s said and everyone that had said anything about him just backs that up. Great human being.
Troy's kids referred to Clark as "Uncle Ryan." There was a true sense of brotherhood and family.
Peasy Jr calls Ike Uncle Ike, too. #HereWeGo
Dude Clark and Polamalu were thumping hitters. Some of the best safetys duos of all time
That's a fact
Yeah , dude I'm all steeler nation but isn't it crazy every single hit (tackle) they made today they would be fined $$$$$$. Would be suspended. HOF 😎
Praying before working out, busting tail and then his wife had a meal ready. Troy is a living king
I once lived ten minutes from training camp and would go daily before I went to work as a cop from 11p - 7a. While I've never met Troy, Ryan was ALWAYS soft spoken, humble, kind, respectful, and sincerely appreciative to every fan who wanted to say hi to him. He'd sign, pose for pics, and visit with fans for as long as it took. Troy's well known for being a great person, but it should be known that Ryan Clark is the same exact way. They're both quality first class guys.
Salute to Troy! Salute to real friends
RC is one of the realest football players. He’s a great guy. I know Troy pretty well. His entire time in Pittsburgh every week he would come to my dads pizza shop and buy a bunch of pizzas and go drop them off at the homeless shelter near the Steelers training facility on the south side of Pittsburgh. He’s a very genuine human being and just a great guy.
From undrafted free agent to a 13 year career as a starter. This dude is such a beast.
Clark was one of the hardest hitting db’s I’ve ever seen.
💯💯💯
Facts loved Ryan, troy and Ike in that secondary
100
My Steelers had 2 undrafted free agents that turned out to be worthy of a day 1 pick
There’s no Troy without Clark, cause Clark got to tell the story.
Amazing story. I love how Ryan is always so clear and concise in his delivery. He's super vulnerable and always exudes integrity.
Everyone gives Troy the flowers he deserves but real fans remember that when Troy got older, Ryan truly was the guy who became a ball hawk and Troy became the hitter. I’ll never forget the moment they damn near evened out when Troy and Ryan would be in the same spot for a pick. That defense was different and I’m honored to have been a kid from Pittsburgh to watch it all and grow to be a man to appreciate the men behind it all.
Better coaching would have resulted in more SB wins with all that talent
POLAMALU AND CLARK WAS SO AWESOME TOGETHER ON THE FEILD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man, as a lifelong Bengals fan, I can't get enough of these Troy stories, he is one of a kind!
I was in Bootcamp with Troy P cousin. He called him on the phone and we talked for like 10 minutes. This was troy 2nd yr in leauge so he wasnt iconic yet but still known. We were so hyped up. Troy was so mellow and nice. Truly a beautiful soul
I’m a Browns fan and I can’t help but love Troy. You can just tell he’s a good man, if he is indeed a human. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been yelling at the TV “How the hell did he do that!”. I believe if you can’t appreciate greatness then you really don’t love the sport.
Ryan Clark is everywhere, sheesh!
Troy and Sean Taylor 🤯
Troy Palomaulu and Ed Reed
I have both there autographed jerseys my 2 favorites
@@michaeljefferson3041 ima Troy guy he made me a Steelers fan but that’s as the era of some GREAT safety’s
Right!?! Think about that…wow.
@@michaeljefferson3041 I’m not sure if you could tell, but he’s talking about two safeties ryan clark played with
Ryan Clark was blessed with all the right people 🙌
Troy is the reason why I became a super fan. From USC to Pitt, this man is as humble as they come. Played football and what he gave on the field he gives to his community.
My son played in the same Baldwin league in Pittsburgh with Jordan Clark and my daughter was a lil cheerleader for them and Troy was at 1 of the games actually took a pic with my daughter's cheerleading squad, I'm a Bills fan but imma huge Troy fan
Nothing weird about it, more men need this
Uhgreed
Consider yourself very lucky to have a team mate that shows you love and support, laugh and cry with you through the highs and lows. Many go through life, never experiencing this.
RC & Troy is one of the best defensive duos 🔥💪🏾🟡⚫️
Clark had one yest that was worth speaking about 100 tackle 1int.
@@willruelas3529 Dont really matter his stats when his presence on the field was felt and that’s undeniable. Not only that but he was obviously doing something right if he was in the league for so long.
I think its a great thing, as a man, to have such a good male friend. I get immense joy and fulfillment out of spending time with my best friend. We call each other just to talk about our hobbies (hunting, fishing, cooking, etc). I love my wife and kids but that bonding with another man fills a void, in a plutonic way, that just can't be replicated with a spouse or child. I think the only relatives that can also fit the niche would be brothers. Dad and granddads are great but it just isn't the same
Thank you for sharing, great to hear there are still God fearing good people in the world!
I’m so glad you guys won a SB! It takes a special camaraderie to win. I really believe that. Talent only goes so far.
Football is a team game.
That makes so much sense how the love spread throughout the team, you guys found the secret sauce.
The love
Is the secret sauce it's genuine
1:27 “he came in and we cried for an hour, the both of us”
These two warriors sharing tears… that’s brotherhood. Them dudes were DAWGS on the field. That level of love and respect for the game is inspiring!
God is good! I really miss that team and you and Troy especially. Congratulations on your time spent with ESPN.
What a powerful bond. Thank you so much for sharing RC and for showing us what true friendships look like.
Secret sauce to winning. LOVE!
A Great Steeler talking about another Great Steeler. There is nothing like “Steelers present and past and Steeler Nation “. A top notch,class act organization from top to the bottom
Ryan Clark is one of the most solid human beings I have seen give an interview.
Love troy man!
Im envious of Ryan bc he got to have a relationship and witness daily Troy Polomalu
You are the Avg of the people you hang out with. Troy's avg was Troy and Sean! That's a great avg to become successful!
Love to here genuine stories 💯✊🏾✊🏾👍🏾
I wish those players could've won more rings.they were awesome
I have a few players that i categorize by "they would play the game for free". Of course that's ridiculous but if speaks to an intangible that RC and Troy both had. They brought it every game... laid it all on the line. As a fan I'm forever grateful for y'all's sacrifice. God Bless y'all.
Get him on the show would love it!!
To play with 2 of the 3 best safeties of that era back to back? That's cool
Yea
Troy was a Freakshow. Ballskills = check. Huge hitter = check. Football IQ = check. Passion, energy, Relentless-effort = check. He is my all-time Favorite NFL player, and I'm not a Steelers fan. That dude was Special. "Big Facts"
Love this story! You both were studs that was a great defense!! Miss that D
He's a hero of mine , not because of football, but because he Carrys The Light❤
@Ryan I feel you brother. A close friendship build in a team environment. none quite like em. 🙏God bless you
1 of the best safety duos ever in my book .
RYAN I LIKE YOU EVEN MORE AS A HUMAN AFTER LISTENING TO THIS INTERVIEW. YOU HAVE BEEN ONE OF MY FAVORITE ANALYSTS FOR A WHILE, BUT YOU MINDSET AND WORDS OF EXPRESSION HAVE ELEVATED YOU TO THE TOP 5. GOD BLESS YOU.
Chhheeee hhuuuu! This warms my heart- Aloha too you, my braddah!
I can really appreciate how Troy and Clarke both Similar humbleness I love these guys ❤️💥💥💥💥
This was so good. Start to finish. Good job.
Thunder and Lightning!!!
I love both of them.
Troy is the type of player that kids who have a father on the team would still say Troy is their favorite player and the father would even agree
It's hard to keep a team of veterans like they were these days. The relationships and goals have to be so tight that guys are willing to sacrifice millions of dollars to keep playing together. I felt like it was more common back then. Now it only happens when guys sell out for a ring.
That explains why that defense was so good
Beautiful
Class act what a man what a Football Player. HOF😎
I'm a 49ers fan but Troy is my favorite safety over Lott and Reed 🤷♂️ one of my top 5 favorite players period!
As a fellow Christian Greek Orthodox, Troy is the greatest example and role model of not only the ppl in our faith, but in general overall. So happy that real men such as RC speak highly of Troy. I remember watching Troy after every play he was on the field he would do the greek orthodox sign cross
Respect what you all doing! Awesome episode on RCs relationship with TP. They are great human beings. Much love to you all. Aloha-AG
Growing up watching 2000’s football Ryan and Troy were a nasty duo Troy was the perfect free safety with no weaknesses in his game (maybe his height but he had bunnies) and Ryan was never a elite cover guy but man was he THE ENFORCER would be locked up for the hits he used to deliver if he played today
My favorite defensive backfield ever along with the steel curtain 70s group
Good interview, I like the behind the scenes stories. I always did like Ike as well.
Somehow you can just see it in him. From a far you could see that he possibly a good dude.
RC was an outstanding safety... and even a more outstanding human being.
holy fuck.... got emotional listening to this.
2 badass safetys
This tandem won me so many games on madden
This is a cool story.
Ryan Clark got that lil boi pajama ass outfit on bruh 😂😂
This is Awesome
Dynamic Duo
I saw you had RC on, was super excited, then all I saw was a floating head, and hands... 😂
No wonder their field communication was so solid, these dudes were attached at the hip. Don’t think I can name a better safety pair🤷🏾♂️
@TROY AN RYAN CLARK ... PITTSBURGH STEELERS ALUMNI ... SALUTE 🫡 👍🏾💯
🖤💞💛
Imagine tj, deebo, highsmith, Foote, shazier, farrior, Timmons, minka, Troy and Ryan Clark in the nickel with jpj shit would be crazy 😂😂
Troy is such a nice human but was a mean football player
Why RC dressed like a Marine? 😂
I thought he was a floating head for a second
here
Miss #43 and 25.
Troy, and Sean both Aries!
✝️
without knowing what these guys did for a living you would have thought they were pastors, not two NFL Safeties taking souls every week.
Westin a onesie
👍👍👍
It showed.
Do y’all not know Troy was a demon in college, and became the lords weapon in the league aha
Ryan you federal... just share your experiences. as a simple overview... you giving details about your friends moves in his household
What in the F are you wearing?
Look like hunting gear
Jammies
in my opinion troy is the greatest football players ever
I thought Ryan got sent out on Duty all that Camo on. Real life thought he had a army fatigue on. Need to leave the weed alone.
Honestly ive seen ryan clark play but from when he played to how now i see him on a day to day on espn dude does not look the same physically
Was Ryan in the military?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
You hitting that good good eh? I thought bro just got back from a hunting trip.
The bible is the way
Atheist punching the air right now because they can not compete against athletes
Both these cats is soft. Ask what they did in 08 when my Titans put that hurtin on them.
Ryan shouldn’t be in the same room as Troy the guy stunk 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
