He is in his prime, he is bad ass, and he wears the number 43. That's right Troy Polamalu for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He is the all around football player. He plays strong safety and attacks the football, not only on the ground, but in the air. He seems to find a way to be in the right spot at the right time.
Troy Polamalu was born on April 19, 1981 in Garden Grove, California. In high school not only did he play football, he played baseball and basketball, and was really good at it. He was the running back and defensive back for his high school team. He was then recruited to the play at the University of South California. Hey Bengal fans guess who he roomed with??? Heisman Trophy winner Carson Palmer. He was drafted by the Steelers in the 2003 Draft. He was 16th overall in the draft.
Troy is the man. I have not yet see him miss a tackle. He plays smash mouth football and lets the ball carrier know he is out to kill. But is killing something this long haired man would do? I think not. Outside of football he is a very soft spoken, christian family man. He also does those charity commercials and helps kids climb over big tall walls...he does everything.
Did you know he is of Samoan descent? Me neither until I just looked it up online. You know who is also of Samoan descent, is the big jacked security guard from the movie, "You me and Dupre." That's a funny movie. Actually its not that great. Him and Troy actually look a little alike.
What's with the long hair? I know he likes it and does not want to get it cut, but you can't read his jersey(even though everyone knows who he is) and it must kill when people drag him down by his hair. Has anyone seen that one game where he was dragging some guy from the back of his head. That was pretty bad ass. Troy is the man, GO STEELS!!!
