As a Christian Greek Orthodox, as a USC fan, and as a big Steelers fan, i can honestly say, without a shadow of a doubt, im soooooo proud of what this man represents and what he stands for. WHAT A GREAT AND AMAZING HUMAN BEING. Ill say one more thing, the most honest, kind, and best ppl who value family like no other are Samoans. Ive never once heard anyone have a bad word to say about the Samoan ppl and their culture. From my experience aswell, Samoans truly are one of the best, if not the best ppl in the world. God bless u Troy and your entire family ✝️
That was actually a privelige to listen to, and it was an even greater honor to watch him play the game so passionately and at such a high level in his heyday. Pittsburgh and Steeler Nation doesnt deserve you Troy, thank you so much for everything you gave to the game.
Thats what's special about the steelers/ravens rivalry. We all grew up idolizing two safeties. Troy Polamalu and Ed Reed. Regardless of what side you're on you like them
I'm a Browns fan and even tho he played for the black and yellow i enjoyed seeing him play cause you never knew where he was going to be on the field. He had me angry on many Sunday's but that's cool
Malo le galue ma le tauivi uso!!! Vrry proud of you uso Troy for representing not only us Samoans, but many of us Pacific Islanders!!! Alofa atu bro and congrats
My favorite player of all time - the goat of defensive backs and class act. I’ll never forget watching you play and the special memories you gave the Pittsburgh Steelers. My favorite moment was the walk off pick 6 in the AFC championship game vs our rival the Ravens to go to the super bowl in 2008. What an awesome moment and so many more to mention. True legend - all love my friend and God bless
That was a great speech.....As a Ravens fan, Troy was always the one player I feared and truly respected. He played the game the right way. That's the biggest honor you can give a player IMO.
As a steelers fan ill send it right back. Ed Reed was the same to us. Lucky to have two legends play against each other at the height of their rivalry and they both did it with class. Now their both on the same HOF team.
Easily one of the best football players of all time. Not just safety. I have to add that I've never heard him speak about anything. He has a lot to say and he's very interesting.
I can't believe how fast Polamalu's career went by. I still remember him at USC. Wow. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Troy - the stage dive at the 2009 Super Bowl parade was legendary.
@@ashleylarson7294 idk about that one. There’s been some really strong contenders…Ronnie Lott, John Lynch, Charles Woodson, Darrel Green, Steve Atwater, Dennis Smith, Rod Woodson just to name a few but the list goes on. Polamalu definitely top 5 on my list tho
@@makfolyfe9748 arguments can be made vice versa among the many great safeties to have played the game, whether it be stats or it be great moments that changes games. To tip the scale however, you either are bias in favor of whoever, or have witnessed their captivating greatness, in that time and in that moment. To each his own tho
Loved watching this man play.. I also love how soft spoken and humble he is. A true first ballot hall of famer, and family man first. I bet if you to ask him that’s what he’s be most proud of. Core to his family and beliefs while football has always been a game. More players should be like Troy. Always loved watching Steelers vs Ravens and watching Troy on one defense vs Ed Reed and Ray Lewis on the other. Magic I don’t think we will be blessed with again. Thank you for everything Troy and bless you and your family in retirement. Congratulations on the hall of fame you deserve it.
My 2nd favorite NFL player. I say that with no disrespect cause I could have been a Steelers fan. Thank you for the way you played the game, your tenacity, courage and the love of family.
Life long packer fan but i have the upmost respect for Troy and everything he represents. Steelers really have had some of the greatest players on that side of the ball to ever play. I’ll forever be grateful that i got to see that hair sprinting across the field for a tackle or an interception on countless occasions. So well deserved. We love you Polamalu
This guy is so intelligent and well spoken, truly amazing. When you Google how to do a speech--this is going to come up as the first in search results. Well done.
GOAT. It was mine and every other Yinzers pleasure to have watched you. And from myself and every other fan in the stands during the 09 AFC Championship game, thank you for giving us a memory that will never EVER fade.
As a steelers fan I feel blessed to have had him play for my favourite team and watch an amazing career from start to finish. I don't think a single fan would ever deny wishing he played for their team including their rivals and only has the highest opinion of him. A legend.
This is honestly one of the best selfless HoF speeches ive ever heard . You can feel the selflessness in his delivey and content . Great stuff Mr. C GAP
@@da1fromdaheightz don’t forget about Ronnie Lott, Steve Atwater, Rod Woodson, Darrel Green, Dennis Smith, and the list goes on but Polamalu definitely top 5 on my list 👍
We at "I Am Publications" congratulate Troy Polamalu for your 2020 Pro Football Hall of Fame Inductions & for a good Induction Speech | NFL on ESPN. You were Great on the Field, Thank You Brother for your Great Gift at USC "Fight On" & For Steelers Years. You are A Class Act Brother, Keep Rocking Our Brother Shining Your Light. We appreciate your Rays of Solar Power on This Great Planet. Thank You for mentioning Hines Ward. He was an Awesome - Tough Reciever who should always be remembered for his touch greatness on the field, also a Good Brother!!!
You guys had Ed Reed at the same time. I loved watching both of them. Some of the two greatest to do it. Loved watching Ravens and Steeler mostly because of those two plus Ray Lewis. Much love as a Viking fan 💪🏻
Hate the Steelers, but that guy was a beast and one of the best safeties i have seen!! Amazing player, amazing talent and from what i hear a good man all round.
I’m a true blue Cowboy fan thru and thru…this man is a class act!! Loved his speech, very heartfelt and genuine. Something this league of spoiled brats need to aspire to be!!!
The Steeler Nation and players are on a whole different level of self respect and humility. They may not win every game....but they WIN every game if you you know what I mean. ...and only Steeler people will understand.
Is it just me or does Troy sound like Michael Jackson. So proud of you Troy, you represent our culture in every way played the game. Our ancestors and ancient warriors are proud of you.

Give this guy another award just for giving a great speech.
Okay this is one of the best speeches ever…❤️he making me feel like a Steelers fan
I'm a Raiders fan but I get you
As a Steelers fan this made my day Troy is a legend and I’m proud of owning his jersey
Never too late to join us
Steelers have the best fans in the world
Once Troy lined up in the C Gap he secured his spot into the Hall of Fame
It was a 100 percenter!
Legendary
Jesus take the wheel tingz
He ruined a life that day…
When his daddy hit mama's G gap he secured his spot
Once again, I'm a Raven...
I thoroughly respect this addition to the Hall..
Polamalu was a whole problem twice a season...
Congrats Troy
As a steelers fan, I feel the same way about Ed Reed. Two players so great that they can transcend a rivalry and earn the other fans respect.
That was actually a privelige to listen to, and it was an even greater honor to watch him play the game so passionately and at such a high level in his heyday. Pittsburgh and Steeler Nation doesnt deserve you Troy, thank you so much for everything you gave to the game.
He’s one of the few guys that everyone respected. No matter what their team was.
You're wrong, they are the only team that deserves him
Well deserved. One of my favorite safeties of all time. - Ravens fan
Thats what's special about the steelers/ravens rivalry. We all grew up idolizing two safeties. Troy Polamalu and Ed Reed. Regardless of what side you're on you like them
There’s no better rivalry in the NFL than the one between the Ravens and Steelers.
@@AnonyMous-gs2gw 💯💯💯💯
Same. Reed is #1 though😉
@@AndeezyFishing They're different positions. Reed #1 FS. Troy #1 SS
I love this man. Epitome of class. I can't believe what an animal he was on Sundays. He deserves this as much as anybody...
FULL DESERVED!!!! I've been a fan of Troy since he was at USC. Congrats, bro!
FIght On! ✌
✌ always will be a Trojan
✌ always will be a Trojan
Thank you troy. You made me a Steelers fan, we share the same birthday and as soon as I found that out, I became the biggest Yinzer in Tampa
I’m so proud of my nephew.
I'm a Browns fan and even tho he played for the black and yellow i enjoyed seeing him play cause you never knew where he was going to be on the field. He had me angry on many Sunday's but that's cool
Using the hit stick with him in madden was a fumble waiting to happen 😂.
@Versatile Wolf you never played madden???

One of the greatest of all time! God bless 🙏🙏❤
This man's timing & hitting power
Thank you for the memories and thank you for what you brought to your family and millions of fans
Explains why we always have a decent to great defense. That mentality of the Steelers is priceless!
Nobody was better ! Luv this dude so humble and nice man it seems ! But boy was he a menace on the field as he should have been !
Him and Reed, top 3 safeties ever
We got to watch a golden era with them plus dawkins , sean taylor even john lynch
top 2
Yes
@@da1fromdaheightz don’t forget about Ronnie Lott, Steve Atwater, Rod Woodson, Darrel Green, Dennis Smith, and the list goes on but Polamalu definitely top 5 on my list 👍
I saw them all and the best two safety ever in the NFL is Ed Reed and Troy Polamau
Ed was the best free safety and Troy was the best strong safety.
Great dude and spectacular football player
Congratulations from a Colts fan to STEELERS NATION. MUCH DESERVED AND DEFINITELY ONE OF THE BEST THAT I HAD A PRIVILEGE TO SEE. MUCH RESPECT!!!

Love #43!!!🖤💛
Great defensive player and an amazing man
Love his game.. and I love his hair. It’s always the same
We’re kicking it.
As a Patriots fan, I miss Polamalu playing. He was a football player.
His kids are so happy.
Greatly deserved, a true legend🙌
This is awesome!! Troy & Steve Smith are the guys that made me love the game
I’m a true blue Cowboy fan thru and thru…this man is a class act!! Loved his speech, very heartfelt and genuine. Something this league of spoiled brats need to aspire to be!!!
I knew Troy back before he hit it big. Good guy, humble. Happy for him
No you didn’t
Me too

The man!!
Pretty impossible to hate on this guy. He seems as genuine as he was dedicated to the steelers.
The Steeler Nation and players are on a whole different level of self respect and humility. They may not win every game....but they WIN every game if you you know what I mean. ...and only Steeler people will understand.
My Favorite..and always well b?..Well Deserved Palomalu..👍👋👋🔥🔥🏆🙏
my favorite player growin up
Love you Troy 🙏
EPIC!! Friggin’ EPIC!!!
Such a humble man
God bless Troy❤️Alofa atu
Steelers need to play this speech before every game and practice. If this doesn't motivate you I don't know what will..
Congrats Troy & Reed the two best to ever do it. Darren hopefully will get in someday.
Is it just me or does Troy sound like Michael Jackson. So proud of you Troy, you represent our culture in every way played the game. Our ancestors and ancient warriors are proud of you.
It’s just you. Sounds nothing like mike. Two completely different vocal patterns
He has a higher pitched voice, but nothing like MJ.
They both soft spoken,but a beast at their craft..lol
It does
What a great guy he is! This coming from a Giants fan. On another note, my Lieutenant reminds me of Troy so much. It’s almost uncanny!
Congrats Troy!
Awesome speech
A great honor for a great player.
We had Rodney & Lawyer before that but I really enjoyed & respected Troy & Steelers along with Reed & Dawkins. Amazing era.
True legend
Wow that was great!!!!!
Way to go Troy!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
