Patriots QB Tom Brady offers high praise for Steelers S Troy Polamalu

Tom Brady talks about how hard it was to prepare for Troy Polamalu.

When it is all said and done, the history books will likely say New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was the best to ever do it. So when he wants to talk about a guy he played again, you should listen to what he has to say. Brady offered high praise on Pittsburgh Steelers safety Troy Polamalu who Brady faced multiple times during their careers.

Brady really nailed what made Polamalu so great. He was impossible to gameplan for. You never knew from one play to the next what Polamalu was going to do regardless of the situation. But somehow, far more often than not, Polamlau found his way to the football.

Polamalu is a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year on the ballot. Most pundits agree Polamalu should get in this year. For his career, Polamalu had 783 total tackles, 32 interceptions and was Defensive Player of the Year in 2010.
