Thats what's special about the steelers/ravens rivalry. We all grew up idolizing two safeties. Troy Polamalu and Ed Reed. Regardless of what side you're on you like them
@@ashleylarson7294 idk about that one. There’s been some really strong contenders…Ronnie Lott, John Lynch, Charles Woodson, Darrel Green, Steve Atwater, Dennis Smith, Rod Woodson just to name a few but the list goes on. Polamalu definitely top 5 on my list tho
@@makfolyfe9748 arguments can be made vice versa among the many great safeties to have played the game, whether it be stats or it be great moments that changes games. To tip the scale however, you either are bias in favor of whoever, or have witnessed their captivating greatness, in that time and in that moment. To each his own tho

I love this man. Epitome of class. I can't believe what an animal he was on Sundays. He deserves this as much as anybody...
That was actually a privelige to listen to, and it was an even greater honor to watch him play the game so passionately and at such a high level in his heyday. Pittsburgh and Steeler Nation doesnt deserve you Troy, thank you so much for everything you gave to the game.
My favorite player of all time - the goat of defensive backs and class act. I’ll never forget watching you play and the special memories you gave the Pittsburgh Steelers. My favorite moment was the walk off pick 6 in the AFC championship game vs our rival the Ravens to go to the super bowl in 2008. What an awesome moment and so many more to mention. True legend - all love my friend and God bless
I'm a Browns fan and even tho he played for the black and yellow i enjoyed seeing him play cause you never knew where he was going to be on the field. He had me angry on many Sunday's but that's cool
Malo le galue ma le tauivi uso!!! Vrry proud of you uso Troy for representing not only us Samoans, but many of us Pacific Islanders!!! Alofa atu bro and congrats
@@da1fromdaheightz don’t forget about Ronnie Lott, Steve Atwater, Rod Woodson, Darrel Green, Dennis Smith, and the list goes on but Polamalu definitely top 5 on my list 👍
I can't believe how fast Polamalu's career went by. I still remember him at USC. Wow. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Troy - the stage dive at the 2009 Super Bowl parade was legendary.
My 2nd favorite NFL player. I say that with no disrespect cause I could have been a Steelers fan. Thank you for the way you played the game, your tenacity, courage and the love of family.
Loved watching this man play.. I also love how soft spoken and humble he is. A true first ballot hall of famer, and family man first. I bet if you to ask him that’s what he’s be most proud of. Core to his family and beliefs while football has always been a game. More players should be like Troy. Always loved watching Steelers vs Ravens and watching Troy on one defense vs Ed Reed and Ray Lewis on the other. Magic I don’t think we will be blessed with again. Thank you for everything Troy and bless you and your family in retirement. Congratulations on the hall of fame you deserve it.
Easily one of the best football players of all time. Not just safety. I have to add that I've never heard him speak about anything. He has a lot to say and he's very interesting.
Life long packer fan but i have the upmost respect for Troy and everything he represents. Steelers really have had some of the greatest players on that side of the ball to ever play. I’ll forever be grateful that i got to see that hair sprinting across the field for a tackle or an interception on countless occasions. So well deserved. We love you Polamalu
As a steelers fan I feel blessed to have had him play for my favourite team and watch an amazing career from start to finish. I don't think a single fan would ever deny wishing he played for their team including their rivals and only has the highest opinion of him. A legend.
Is it just me or does Troy sound like Michael Jackson. So proud of you Troy, you represent our culture in every way played the game. Our ancestors and ancient warriors are proud of you.
We at "I Am Publications" congratulate Troy Polamalu for your 2020 Pro Football Hall of Fame Inductions & for a good Induction Speech | NFL on ESPN. You were Great on the Field, Thank You Brother for your Great Gift at USC "Fight On" & For Steelers Years. You are A Class Act Brother, Keep Rocking Our Brother Shining Your Light. We appreciate your Rays of Solar Power on This Great Planet. Thank You for mentioning Hines Ward. He was an Awesome - Tough Reciever who should always be remembered for his touch greatness on the field, also a Good Brother!!!
While listening to him praise Steeler nation, I was thinking, wouldn't it be cool if he brought a beat up old metal lunch box up to the podium with him and at the end of his speech, open up the lunch box and pulled out a 'Terrible Towel' and said: "STEELER NATION...........wave those towels!"
Very proud to be a Steeler fan knowing he played for the organization. It’s unfortunate the qualities he uses to describe the team then, do not identify with the team now. A lot of individuals on the team today, no brothers. Tik Tok and a social media presence trumps all that now unfortunately.
Problem with fans like you, is that you don't put into perspective that the *GAME* changed... not just the team. The Steelers as an organization today *STILL* remain as the "standard" 🖤💛
@@yeremi6005 I think you may be livin bf too much in the glory days. The Steelers culture is not what it used to be, despite organizations like the patriots continuing their culture even in the modern era.
@@yeremi6005 Nah, the players changed, thus creating a culture that is about individuals. There isn’t a single Steeler from the glory days that would EVER dance on a logo.
Give this guy another award just for giving a great speech.
Once Troy lined up in the C Gap he secured his spot into the Hall of Fame
It was a 100 percenter!
Legendary
Jesus take the wheel tingz
He ruined a life that day…
When his daddy hit mama's G gap he secured his spot
Okay this is one of the best speeches ever…❤️he making me feel like a Steelers fan
I'm a Raiders fan but I get you
As a Steelers fan this made my day Troy is a legend and I’m proud of owning his jersey
Never too late to join us
Steelers have the best fans in the world
Using the hit stick with him in madden was a fumble waiting to happen 😂.
@Versatile Wolf you never played madden???
@@datsapaddlin4228 Him and ATL Vick was walking cheat codes in Madden lol
@@usp3p12 I use to love knocking people’s helmets off 😂. They need to bring that back 😅.

Well deserved. One of my favorite safeties of all time. - Ravens fan
Thats what's special about the steelers/ravens rivalry. We all grew up idolizing two safeties. Troy Polamalu and Ed Reed. Regardless of what side you're on you like them
There’s no better rivalry in the NFL than the one between the Ravens and Steelers.
@@AnonyMous-gs2gw 💯💯💯💯
Same. Reed is #1 though😉
@@AndeezyFishing They're different positions. Reed #1 FS. Troy #1 SS
Once again, I'm a Raven...
I thoroughly respect this addition to the Hall..
Polamalu was a whole problem twice a season...
Congrats Troy
As a steelers fan, I feel the same way about Ed Reed. Two players so great that they can transcend a rivalry and earn the other fans respect.
The best FS in Steeler history imo
Strong safety!
You mean nfl history 🙌🏽

That's the head and shoulders baby.

He’s one of the few guys that everyone respected. No matter what their team was.
You're wrong, they are the only team that deserves him

Him and Reed, top 3 safeties ever
We got to watch a golden era with them plus dawkins , sean taylor even john lynch
top 2
Yes
@@da1fromdaheightz don’t forget about Ronnie Lott, Steve Atwater, Rod Woodson, Darrel Green, Dennis Smith, and the list goes on but Polamalu definitely top 5 on my list 👍
I saw them all and the best two safety ever in the NFL is Ed Reed and Troy Polamau
Ed was the best free safety and Troy was the best strong safety.
My favorite athlete who I can say humbly I named my 1st son after!!!!!!!!! GOAT.
My All time favorite Steeler!
I can't believe how fast Polamalu's career went by. I still remember him at USC. Wow. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Troy - the stage dive at the 2009 Super Bowl parade was legendary.
So Proud of you Troy!!!
One of the greatest of all time! God bless 🙏🙏❤

One of the greatest Steeler players of all time! What a man! ❤ What a speech!
Such a great player, well deserved. Every one was/is looking for a guy like this. A game changer in every way.
Great dude and spectacular football player
Easily one of the best football players of all time. Not just safety. I have to add that I've never heard him speak about anything. He has a lot to say and he's very interesting.
As a Cincinnati bengals fan. I have nothing but love and respect and appreciation for that man. Gonrats 🙏
Love #43!!!🖤💛
Nothing but love and respect for the legend Troy Polamalu.

Not a Steelers fan and barely watched Troy play but this almost had me teary eyed lol. Great speech.
Explains why we always have a decent to great defense. That mentality of the Steelers is priceless!
TROY!!!

Wow, never heard his voice until now, he was such a killer on the field, but is soft spoken. Great speech!
Congrats..played like a TRUE football player EVERY Sunday...Even more a Great man on field and off. 👍👍
We’re kicking it.
One word. Class.
His kids are so happy.
Is it just me or does Troy sound like Michael Jackson. So proud of you Troy, you represent our culture in every way played the game. Our ancestors and ancient warriors are proud of you.
It’s just you. Sounds nothing like mike. Two completely different vocal patterns
He has a higher pitched voice, but nothing like MJ.
They both soft spoken,but a beast at their craft..lol
It does
Thank you for the memories and thank you for what you brought to your family and millions of fans
Nobody was better ! Luv this dude so humble and nice man it seems ! But boy was he a menace on the field as he should have been !
Awesome speech

Meh
What a Role Model
The Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka of the NFL
But without the murder
@@wilsonsimons12 yea 😂
As a Patriots fan, I miss Polamalu playing. He was a football player.
This speech needs to be played to every Steelers draft pick from this day forth.
EPIC!! Friggin’ EPIC!!!
Troy is such a gentle spirit that you tend to forget this man can squash a player easily during his playing days. 😅
Can't wait to see Troy's sons play at the high level!!
Congrats Troy!! Loved him on the field.
as a defense lover, him and Ed Reed were my icons.
My favorite
ATTENTION! MAN TALKING! 👏👏
Love his game.. and I love his hair. It’s always the same
Pretty impossible to hate on this guy. He seems as genuine as he was dedicated to the steelers.
True legend
Troy has a very soft voice lol
But he was a hard hitter.
Reminds me of iron Mike Tyson…2 people I don’t want to challenge in their sport 😂
@@makfolyfe9748 Brock Lesnar too 😂
His hits weren't
@@greenmile1023 Yep Troy was a beast on the field 🙌🏾
HE ONE OF THE BEST THAT EVER WAS.
Great defensive player and an amazing man
Such a humble man
Greatly deserved, a true legend🙌
Nobody did it like Troy.
That's one unique & fantastic bust!
Hated when my team played against him but god dam it was amazing to watch
Real talk .Always killing the play.
A soft spoken man that knock people out on the field lol
Troy is a goat

We had Rodney & Lawyer before that but I really enjoyed & respected Troy & Steelers along with Reed & Dawkins. Amazing era.
Im officially old, I remember him as a rookie in madden and he didnt even have a last name I believe 😂😂😂
They even had his # wrong on madden, they had him as #41 with no name. I remember...lol.
Proud Samoan! Good too see this uso get this. We’ll deserved 🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸

Still Miss watching him play 😢

I must have something in my eye...
Very proud to be a Steeler fan knowing he played for the organization. It’s unfortunate the qualities he uses to describe the team then, do not identify with the team now. A lot of individuals on the team today, no brothers. Tik Tok and a social media presence trumps all that now unfortunately.
