    The player that was drafted in the first round of the 2003 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers is known for his tenacity, but even better for his behavior on and off the field. Troy Polamalu is a two time Superbowl champion and the National Football League's 2010 Defensive player of the year, but you will never hear him stating that he deserves the praise for either of these two accomplishments. The Safety is known for constantly being involved with the community and working hard to make an impact on the field, but he expects very little fanfare and publicity. Troy is the embodiment of ethics in a sport that includes bone breaking hits and trash talkers that can rival the likes of Michael Jordan and Chad Ochocinco. He is an ethical model because of his actions on the field, his selfless attitude, and his contributions to the community.…

Peyton finally agreed on a lucrative six-year deal, the richest in NFL rookie history. The bright spot was the chemistry that Peyton developed with Harrison. Both were workout freaks. They spent long hours on the practice field together, and by the end of the season, they were in perfect sync. Peyton seemed to go to Harrison whenever he needed a big completion. The Syracuse product caught 59 passes, seven for touchdowns. In 2000, after moving ahead 14-0 early in the contest, Indy fell apart and lost 23-17 in overtime. Polian selected receiver Reggie Wayne in the first round of the draft in2001, even though Indy clearly needed players on the defensive line. Giving Peyton another option on the outside was an intriguing prospect…
