Alejandro Villanueva was a journeyman long before he ever came to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He had never even been on a practice squad at that point, yet he tried out for multiple teams, and was on offseason rosters, at a variety of positions, across a number of years that were broken up by tours of active duty in the Marines.
But once he got to Pittsburgh, he found a home, and made it such. He spent seven years with the Steelers, including the 2014 season on the practice squad, learning the tackle position at the NFL level from Mike Munchak, and he would take over the left tackle spot six games into the following season.
