I forget which TV announcer referred to Horton as being a poor man's Polamalu, but I think that's a pretty good comparison.

I agree. I think if you had to compare Horton to another safety it would be Polamalu. Horton's bigger, has the physicality, and plays the run extremely well, but Polamalu definitely has Horton in the coverage department. If Horton can continue to improve his coverage skills and steadily progress in the next couple seasons I think it would be fair to mention him in the same breath as Polamalu.
