Troy Polamalu called it quits on a glorious NFL career on Thursday.

The Pittsburgh Steelers safety drew well-wishes from all over the football world as players and coaches paid respect to one classy individual. However, there was one player who did it with humor.

Wide receiver Andrew Hawkins had the pleasure — or curse? — of facing off against Polamalu several times over the years as a member of the Cleveland Browns and previously with the Cincinnati Bengals. And he took some big hits courtesy of the long-haired terror.

On Friday, Hawkins paid tribute in a way that will bring a smile to your face. Enjoy.
