.@Ike_SwagginU was my pick for "The Chief Award" every year. Endless amount of great quotes. Always was in locker room ready for questions.

Couldn't ask for two more different people than Ike and Polamalu, both now retired. Tough to replace character like that.

Steelers CB Ike Taylor retiring, just as longtime teammate Troy Polamalu did last week. No surprise in either case but Pitt losing linchpins
