Pittsburgh Steelers legends Troy Polamalu and Alan Faneca were both included in ESPN's recent NFL All-Quarter Century Team. ESPN compiled a 53-man roster with a full lineup, made up of the best NFL players since 2000 and Polamalu and Faneca, both Pro Football Hall of Famers, made the cut.

Moving to defense, edge defender T.J. Watt got snubbed but safety Troy Polamalu was there as the team's strong safety. He joined Ed Reed, Brian Dawkins and Earl Thomas as the four safeties. This was how they broke down Polamalu's career.

Three former Pittsburgh Steelers players earned a spot on Aaron Schatz and Seth Walder of ESPN’s All Quarter Century NFL Team — Hall of Fame safety Troy Polamalu, Hall of Fame guard Alan Faneca and eight-time Pro Bowl cornerback Patrick Peterson.
