    I find Troy to be very humble, religious and genuine and I also find it strange that he has a Twitter Account.

    I agree, from what I've seen from the world of Twitter, little shocked a man like him would have an account.

    If you make a video of amazing football plays of the last 50 years Troy would have been in the top 5. Another Steeler who would have been in the video would have been Lynn Swann. Some of the junk he pulled in was amazing to watch.

    Ben would already have passed Terry in SB rings if it weren't for Swann and Stallworth grabbing crazy off target passes.

    I think he has it it to fulfill some promotional responsibilities. Like when Moana came out he did a couple of thankful of the opportunity tweets and then some about the college outreach program that he was into. I could be wrong maybe he is one of those have to tweet every thought that comes into my head types but I get the feeling he isn't.

    I think the most I heard about him opening up was when he talking about the keague needing to change its approach to diet and fitness. I mean he was really passionate about it.

    Hey Stone.

    As he should, as well as all others on this Great Earth. As long as the "march" is in the right direction but I am not here to judge anyone. Troy is such a true competitor. However, he really seems to know how to "turn" things on and off in life when and where per se. He was only consumed with Football when it was time to be in-between the lines. When it was time to go home he seemed to have known when and what to leave behind for the next day. A true Humanitarian and one of the most gifted athletes that I have had the "real-time" pleasure of witnessing him showcasing his talents.

    I have stated over my time here about Learning Theories regarding different forms of "Intelligences". Given that, Troy was/is amongst the "Brightest" that the World has ever come to know when it came to "Kinesthetic" Intelligence. The athletic feats that he demonstrated on such a consistent basis were jaw-dropping, required double-take looking and just gave the fans their money's worth and so much more. Another one was Lynn Swann. I just felt like putting him in there. These type of athletes are rare and come along only every so often. I truly, and genuinely, feel so fortunate to have been a part of, and seen live, their many highlight reel moments.

    Troy might be my favourite player ever. I'm always torn between him and Ward. Loved watching Ward destroy guys.

    It scares me when I watched him play. He has no consideration for his body. I’m surprised he wasn’t injured more

    Hey Vox.

    I really was awed by both his Athletic "Gifts" and his "Passion for Life". As I stated in another post, he is a True Humanitarian. He never was consumed by any one thing that did not have "real" meaning. He loved Football it would seem but his Family and Life even more. Definitely a man who has his priorities straight. He played with such a reckless abandon, a free-spirit of sorts out on the field. Kind of like a wild stallion that could never be tamed but was always in control of himself. Always cognizant about what he was doing out there. Seemingly, always doing things his way, the right way. Forever true to his convictions. I could go on all day. For to me, Troy gets it about Football and where it stands in life's priorities. He was truly grateful for the athletic abilities that he was bestowed and never took them for granted. The same for his recognition of his "life" and the much greater scheme with which it is apart of. I got to go.

    Wow, the Steeler's couldn't have hired a P.R. firm to explain more completely what it means to be a Steeler. Class act.
