I don't know about specific numbers, but I know that as someone gets stronger additional strength would make less difference with regards to sports performance. Also at a certain level of strength it can become important for an athlete to train both the amount of force produced but also how quickly it's produced. However this would be different that what's shown in the Troy Polamalu video.
