Former Steeler Troy Polamalu selected to College Football Hall of Fame

It looks like Troy Polamalu will make two halls of fame in the next year.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu has been named to the College Football Hall of Fame. Polamalu was a three-year star at USC before becoming the first-round pick of the Steelers in 2003.

During Polamalu’s time at USC he accumulated 278 tackles, 29 tackles for a loss, 6 interceptions, 4 blocked punts, and 3 touchdowns. Much like his time in the NFL, Polamalu was one of the most explosive and dynamic players in college football.

This will be a nice warmup for Polamalu as he is also a semi-finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. It’s no reach to think Polamalu will make it in on the first ballot.
