When he is done cracking skulls on the gridiron, Troy Polamalu wants to be a high school teacher. The future Hall of Fame safety came back to USC to earn his B.A. in history last year.

"It was something that I had left unfinished in my life," Polamalu said about his degree. "So it was great to bring closure. It was a huge blessing, and a relief to not have that hanging over me."

Polamalu begins his 10th NFL season with the Pittsburgh Steelers this fall.
