One of the greatest ever, on and off the field.

I could of sworn he used a wormhole to tackle Chris Johnson in the backfield on a check down pass once. Dude just appeared and dropped him for a loss. I briefly entertained the notation that he was either an extra-dimensional being and or a wizard.

I wonder if the Steelers will pick Landon Collins to replace him.

they need a corner more it seems like.

Polamalu was a good player, lot of fun to watch there for a few years.

he always made the sign of the cross.

God fearing man.

Troy was basically the IRL version of taking over some random defender that blitzed on Madden and roaming all over the field presnap before doing something crazy

The day I've dreaded for years. Hands down my favorite Steelers player of all time. So much fun to watch when he was in his prime.

Happy he's retiring as a Steeler. Another season or two on any team would have been hard to watch. Last season was hard enough.

Glad he's retiring. He will be remembered well. What are his HOF chances?

Also, if a report came out tomorrow on the number of concussions he has had, what number would surprise you? Nothing under 15 would surprise me. Dude treated his body like a bowling ball.

The guy was fun to watch, but he doesn't belong there.

Incredible how he timed that, but if you're the QB and you see him doing that, why in the world would you snap it?
