--

Polamalu specializes in the kind of hits that make people watching on TV turn their heads away, feeling the pain of some crumpled mass that once was a wide receiver. and after he makes another bone-jarring hit; no celebrating, no taunting, no showboating.

"you try to make it as much of a routine as possible. a big hit is all part of the game. if you want to make a lot of big hits, you forget about the one you just made and more onto the next one. the dumbest thing any defensive player could do is make a big hit 40 yards down the field and celebrate."
~Troy Polamalu

--

precious few players have ever been so destructive on the field and so gentle off. with helmet on, his thick hair flowing out the back, he is a lion controlling his domain. helmet off, regular pussycat. and still somehow noble in both incarnations. people who meet Polomalu sometimes are taken aback. he makes such vicious hits, they're expecting someone who bites the heads off rats to get fired up for games, not someone with a soul wise beyond his years.

"in football, you're taught to be aggressive, taught to react with violence. if you can't seperate that on the field and off the field, you're going to be in a lot of trouble in your life"
~Troy Polamalu
