[@RagnarokMic]

@@THIS---GUY If that's the case, than Troy could have played FS at the exact same level as Reed, at least as fast and definitely more agile, with some of the best instincts of all time. But no one who understands football should think you could plug either at the other's position and match the output. They weren't asked, nor did they try, to do the same things, Reed played ballhawk while Troy played wandering wild card. More tackles (almost twice as many for a loss), more sacks, more fumbles, and in FEWER games. It's a useless argument anyway, since there's no way to prove anything.

[@JajuanLogan]

Nurse Belle that’s a bold statement but I would have to say I agree

[@Dee-jd6ym]

I agree but all around I'd say Reed based on statistics, and a much worse offense to carry. Plus Reed played both SS, and FS, and even won awards at both positions at the NFL Level. Polamalu although was better up front, a perfect blend of a linebacker, and safety. Fast, and in my opinion a top 3 player all time in regards to his vigilance, and ability to always have a eye on the runner. I will never forget that tackle he made while facing the opposite direction from the ball carrier. One of the few guys who always plays like he's down by 15 in the last quarter. There's alot f negatives about both as well, but all in all you'll rarely ever find more complete defenders than these two.

My friend who was a legend in football at his high school invited me to a pick up game of basketball in Troy's home town. Middle of nowhere Oregon. I was visiting my pal. Anyway, we were about 20. Started playing and on the opposing team was a short Samoan kid. Must have been around 14. Both me and my pal were good basketball players. Athletic and we were used to dominating. Quickly we realized the best player on the court was this lightening fast kid. Hitting shots, driving the lane, ball handling like he was born to play ball. The kid didn't talk. Let his game talk. All i could think of was God blessed this young man with gifts I could only dream of. I was amazed how good he was. Years later I was reading in the newspaper about notable Oregon athletes. It mentioned Troy and his hometown. I realized I got schooled on the court by a future hall of fame Steeler. I got to compete against greatness. Pretty cool.

I’m a life long Bengals fan.. the fact that Troy being in HOF is even a conversation is crazy to me… amazing player to watch (when he wasn’t playing against us 😂) and is definitely one of the greatest safeties of all time.

[@fredstrattonjr.4043]

I agree he should be in the HOF if you watched a game he was everywhere. Relentless

[@TWOVO1]

The way he read the game especially the Quarterbacks actions and eyes was in a different level. He got the instinct of the defensive football Gods.

[@jeromegarcia5396]

The only one who speaks on his Hof career is Troy, hands down the best in his position and my first pick if I ever started building a defense...

[@tdjr0303]

Truuuuuuuuuuth

[@diegorjalvarado]

Tory is up with the best but hes not prime time

[@jeromegarcia5396]

@@diegorjalvarado 👮 think the comment police is here... If you referring to Reed or Dawkins, they was nice indeed, but potato tomato Bruh it still remains the same I'm still taking Troy because I've been there since USC Trojans ✌️ and Jr Seau, and Ronnie Lott, and Adoree Jackson, and Ray maoluga, and Bruh... He comes from prestige and 🧬 DNA lol

[@TravelsWithBoomer]

One of the greatest and most humble to play that position! Loved watching him play.

[@TheNycKraken]

Best safety ever!

[@crossefire01]

Ravens fan here. Troy is one of my favorite players of all time. What an amazing athlete and person. A pleasure to watch him battle my Ravens each time. It hurts to love a Steeler but it's Troy Polamalu...how can you not?

[@allen33and88]

Definitely my favorite player

[@HanaMana05]

Extraordinary man!

[@scottsullivan7582]

As a cowboys fan, lucky to have the chance to watch him play before he retired, great atittude on and off field. He deserves to be in the Hof, if not then they need to cancelled the H.O.F period, as this guy is one of the hardest working players in the nfl, gave his heart to the game he loves, us fan's thank you troy, you're a H.O.F player in my book!!!!!😊 Edit: I'm not doing this for likes nor comments i really mean it, i secretly watch troy play for steelers not im not a steelers fan, but one of the best organizations in the businesses, and i don't believed that big ben sexual harrass a woman someone tried to set him up, just like zeke Elliott was, and players have to be careful about going to partys, if you have a party, created one with people you know that are loyal family and friends to have a good time and be safe everyone ok, peace out, god loves everyone no matter race or color of someone skin we are all God's children!!!!!🤗

[@glennbennett6301]

SALUTE 💯 one of my favorite players Troy definitely changed the game 💯

[@kelly0433]

Mike Tomlin: Troy do what Troy does

[@Thewhitekorean]

I never realized how crazy it was that he beat linebackers to the ball all the time. Dude played behind them lol

[@phillyphillnatic2443]

1ST BALLOT! NO QUESTION! Troy""LONG HAIR DON'T CARE"" Polamalu

[@carvedwood1953]

Every single sunday I miss watching Troy. The most entertaining player to ever live.

[@donquixote...]

Did he not make first ballot...??? He doesn't require anyone talking him up, making pitches for him, his resume is complete...

[@quintontimler2765]

The class hasn’t been announced yet, so no, he hasn’t.

[@donquixote...]

@@quintontimler2765 Yes, saw that later, but thanks for info. Guess different parts of class (coaches) were announced first...??? Still, Troy must go in...!

[@quintontimler2765]

Don Quixote yeah I didn’t remember it ever being like that, I thought the whole class was announced at the same time.

[@donquixote...]

@@quintontimler2765 Exactly, so when I saw this video about why he should go in put out after those first announcements, I counted the years since he last played and figured he must not have made first ballot...

[@ItzJohnnyRambo]

Don Quixote good news boys he made it!!!!

[@JM-bg2ts]

I only got into American football 3 years ago and I have heard multiple stories and clips of this guy, not many players on Defense have that clout he must be HOF worthy.
