      Patriots fan here.... Hearing Troy saying that reminded me all the battles and war that we had with those guys in both regular season and playoffs. Troy was a consummate professional with great instincts, physicality, finesse, football IQ, and everything within the skillset that a secondary could wish for (... and of course, the perfectly flowing hair). So happy for the golden jacket, and really appreciate the humble and grounded reaction to the HOF. He deserved to represent that defense and that brotherhood with dignity, class, character and professionalism.

I was taught the love of Defense from my grandpa and he loved the Washington Redskins and the first person he showed me was Shawn Taylor R.I.P but the love of the game for me came from Troy Palomalu and Brian Dawkins❤❤❤❤ I know it's holds no weight but thank you for everything, every love and hate moment. You are and we're the most scariest Safety ever to play modern day❤ #TinyButMighty

    WOW!! What a beautiful interview between great friends. Unfortunately, CTE is a real byproduct of football. LOVED WATCHING THESE GUYS PLAY!!! Congratulations Steelers for your Hall of Fame player's!! Troy Polamalu will always be one of the most classy people football has ever had to play this game. It's ALWAYS been so amazing to see how calm he is on the sidelines but WOW when he's on the field and he flips that switch... truly Hall of Fame worthy. Football is a team sport yet humbleness inside the locker room away from the cameras, working for the greater good... you just wanted to hang out with each other? That feeling is definitely lacking in many of the locker rooms currently.
