Professional career
2003 NFL Draft
In the last match of his college career at the Orange Bowl, Polamalu injured his knee in pre-match warming and had a very limited action in the match that day. The injury also caused Polamalu to miss the Senior Bowl and the 2003 NFL Combine. On March 12, 2003, Polamalu participated on pro USC day, along with Carson Palmer, Justin Fargas, Kareem Kelly, Sultan McCullough, Malaefou MacKenzie, and others. He performed three cone exercises (6.75), short shuttle (4.37), and a 40-page dash (4.34) for NFL team representatives and scouts.
The Pittsburgh Steelers originally had an oral agreement with Dexter Jackson, which is a Super Bowl MVP with the 2003 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With a deal made with Jackson, Steelers focused on drafting a run back in the first half. On March 12, 2003, Jackson signed with Arizona Cardinals after they added $ 2 million to their offer and increased his salary of $ 2.3 million in the first three years.
Polamalu is projected to be a final-first or second-start final by the majority of NFL drafters and scouts. He ranks a strong security prospect over by BLESTO and National Scouting Combines. The Steelers chose Polamalu in the first round (16th overall) in the 2003 NFL Draft.
The San Diego Chargers, who have a 15th pick overall, have a great need on safety to replace Rodney Harrison but pass on the chance to pick Polamalu with a down trade and get Sammy Davis and Terrence Kiel. The Steelers quickly moved to bring Polamalu to their team. The Steelers believe so much that Polamalu could have a positive impact on their defense that they trade up from seventy-seventh place to sixteenth place, originally held by the Chiefs. The Steelers traded a choice of ninety-two and two hundred for the right to switch first-round picks. The Kansas City Heads went on to compose Larry Johnson, Julian Battle, and Brooks Bollinger (the Bollinger Pick subsequently traded into the Jets in the same draft) with picks earned from the trade. He has the distinction of being one of the two safeties ever composed by the Steelers in the first round of the NFL Draft; the other is Terrell Edmunds in 2018.

He makes the Sign of the Cross after every game. Among his spiritual activities is the 2007 pilgrimage to Orthodox Christian sites in Greece and Turkey. He rarely gives interviews, but when he does, he often talks about the role of his spirituality in his life.

His sons were named after the Orthodox Christian saints: Saint Paisios, Supreme Egypt and Saint Ephraim, the Syrians. He lives with his family in Pittsburgh during the football season and in San Diego, California, during a quiet season.

On October 15, 2006, the match against Kansas City Chiefs, Chiefs' running back Larry Johnson pulled Polamalu down with his hair to handle it.

Polamalu has a contract with Head & amp; Shoulder shampoo and has starred in five ads for the product. On April 1, 2013, it was reported that he had decided not to sign a new contract to authorize Head & amp; Shoulders instead of signing a five year contract with Suave to support their "Acrion Series".

In media

Polamalu is featured on the cover of the National Football League Megastars scholastic children book that maps Polamalu and 14 other NFL stars.
During Super Bowl XLIII, an advertisement from Polamalu aired that made him remake of the famous Cocon-Cola "Mean Joe" advertisement, except for his ad for Coca-Cola Zero. Two "brand manager" Coke brought a Coke Zero bottle away just as the boy would give it to Polamalu, with Polamalu then handling one of the managers. Then, instead of giving the boy his own jersey, he tore off the shirt from the brand manager he'd handled and threw it at him. Greene, who loves Polamalu lives a very quiet life off the pitch, is different from the game on the field, likes the ad and stamps his approval.
She is on the cover of Madden NFL 10 with Larry Fitzgerald and is suspected of being a "Madden Curse".
Polamalu voiced a small role in the movie 2016 Moana .
