Polamalu was the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year last season and backed it up with yet another outstanding campaign leading the Steelers into the postseason. He made the Pro Bowl for the seventh time in his nine professional seasons.
Matthews is a perfect three for three in making the NFL all-star team in his short career. The dynamic pass rusher stuffed the stat sheet with six sacks, three interceptions and three forced fumbles for the best team in the league.
In the offseason, Kalil was made the highest paid center in the NFL. He earned his money with another stellar season as he groomed rookie QB Cam Newton in Carolina.
Matthews and Polamalu are eying another Super Bowl run.
