Troy Polamalu Video: Watch Steelers Star Scare People Who Aren't Opponents

Based on his brilliant NFL career, we already knew that Troy Polamalu was not afraid to put a scare into opponents.

He's one of the best defensive backs to ever play the game and not a guy that you want hitting you.

But now we know that he's not afraid to put a scare into visitors of Madame Tussauds Wax Museum.

Now, I have never been to a wax museum. So, I am not going to comment on how lifelike wax sculptures normally are. But this is actually a side of NFL players, and pro athletes in general, that needs to be seen more.

The fact that Polamalu was willing to get out in public and interact with fans is very pleasing. It shows an entertaining, human side that athletes are normally all too hesitant to show.

The fans clearly loved it and nobody appeared to be really scared, so this is all good in my eyes.

Apparently, I am not the only person who was impressed. Take a look at some of the comments:

"That was so believable; intercepting, tackling, acting like wax, IS THERE NOTHING THIS MAN CAN'T DO?"

"Troy strikes fear in his opponents, even when he isn't moving 100 MPH."

"HATE the Steelers, but this was pretty awesome."

And that's the exact right attitude. This isn't a matter of being a fan of the Steelers or Polamalu. This is just about lightening up and enjoying an absolute star athlete letting his guard down for a second.

Now, if Polamalu could only figure out a way to get the Steelers out of their current rut, his greatness would be undeniable. But for now, let's stick to attainable goals. Polamalu gets a nice thumbs up for this act.
