Polamalu

The inspirational story of Pittsburgh Steelers strong safety Troy Polamalu

Troy Polamalu was the guiding spirit behind a Pittsburgh Steelers team that won two Super Bowls and led the NFL in total defense five times during his 12-year career.

This biography, the first written on the Steelers’ Hall of Famer, has been over a decade in the making and includes interviews with hundreds of Polamalu’s family, friends, coaches, team officials, front office members and teammates.

It’s Polamalu’s grace and character, his humility, class, dignity, even his meekness that make this biography a must read for children of all ages.

What They've Said

Select quotes from Troy Polamalu's teammates featured in the book.

"He was a star of stars. There's a reason he's going to headline the Hall of Fame class."

Steelers LB Joey Porter

"Troy's one of the few players that you find yourself inching back toward the field to watch just to see what he's going to do next. That didn't happen very often in my career, for me to stand up and watch another defensive player, but I didn't want to miss what was going to happen next."

Steelers TE Heath Miller

"The crazy part about playing with him was that we definitely put the responsibility of greatness on him, and expected it from him, but he never wanted the reward of that. He wanted us to be his homeboys, his teammates, and that was that."

Steelers S Ryan Clark
