Legendary Pittsburgh Steelers' safety Troy Polamalu was on the road to glory, with whispered conversations touting him as potentially the greatest safety of all time, averaging 54 tackles a season up until his Madden cover. During the season opener, Polamalu sprained his MCL and missed a chunk of the season. Upon his return, just weeks later, he suffered the same injury and missed the rest of the season with just five starts to his name.
