What Ourlads NFL Scouting Services said about
TROY POLAMALU: Southern Cal, 5102 206 4.40. A shorter than ideal strong safety with a stocky build. Thick legged. Has very good strength. Three year starter. Very productive throughout his career had an injury plagued senior year bothered much of the season with an ankle sprain. Dynamic in the box player with quick reactions and a very physical style plays like an extra linebacker. Explosive tackler. Wraps and drives through. Outstanding in pursuit attacks with tremendous desire has a great closing burst will chase plays from the middle of the field and leap into a tackle at the sideline. Jumps into piles. Plays with good knee bend. Quick footed. Very good blitzer who times his charge well. Not a dynamic coverage safety, but he runs well and is quick out of his pedal. Reacts well to plays in front of him punishes receivers after the catch. Excellent special teams player with kick blocking ability. Durability is a concern due to his size and the disregard for his body that he displays on the field. Quality prospect.
