The two-time USC All-American was profiled in ESPN The Magazine not for his tenacity on the field, but for his business savvy off the gridiron.

The key for Polamalu was eliminating the "yes men" that tend to surround professional athletes and celebrities. Instead, he seeks advice from family like his brother-in-law Alex Holmes, the 2004 USC national champion tight end who is a digital media consultant, and industry leading professionals.
