As a Steelers fan I appreciate you saying that. I should add that we all know you guys had one of the most, if not the most, feared defenses of all time with reed, suggs, Lewis, etc. Back in those days every game was awesome to watch.

At 5'10 he was small for a DB, but he could sack a QB, tackle a RB at full speed, and cover any WR or TE. The guy had a nose for the ball and was actively involved in essentially every play. And he was a class-act who went back to the line of scrimmage or the sideline as soon as the play was dead.

[@hunter_69_69]

6:39 and 10:03. That was classic Steelers' defense back in our glory days. Harrison wacks the quarterback, Polamalu does the rest. Harrison + Polamalu both won DPOY's. What a duo.

[@ryman33333]

Harrison was solid and the whole defense was great but look what happened every time Troy was injured. Defense was mush. Average at best. Troy made everyone else look good. Did things that will never show up on stat sheets. Changed every play if he was on the field.

Troy went to Douglas high school in Winston Oregon, the exact same town both my parents grew up in, as well as the same high school.

I always thought it was amazing that she was able to see him play before he joined the big leagues.

As soon as he saw the ball being thrown downfield, he was upfront, turned around and ran downfield to help, ended up getting the tipped pick. Nobody huskes like that in the NFL anymore. He gave 100% every play. IQ of Einstein on the field. Coaches dream player with no dramas and kept to himself.
