Former Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu continues to draw praise for his instincts on the field years after retirement. Analyst Steve Palazzolo recently discussed Polamalu's career on a podcast. The comments focused on the player's knack for making plays despite occasional positioning issues.
Steve Palazzolo spoke about Polamalu on his Check the Mic podcast on Monday. "Troy Polamalu was incredible," Palazzolo said. "More often than not, he made the play."
Polamalu spent 12 seasons with the Steelers. He earned the 2010 Defensive Player of the Year award and recorded 32 interceptions along with 14 forced fumbles. His former teammates noted his ability to anticipate plays.
The safety was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. Pittsburgh's willingness to let him freelance helped his style, according to the analyst.
