We now know Alejandro Villanueva as the Pittsburgh Steelers starting left tackle. But when he first came to the team, still learning the position, still very much a backup, the team planned to get him involved in other ways. Villanueva joined Sirius Radio with Alex Marvez and Bill Polian to talk about his NFL journey. The generally reserved Villanueva offered up this nugget of info, recalling how close he came to catching his first touchdown pass in 2015.
“Not a lot of people know this but I actually lined up at receiver a couple times against the Rams when we played them three, four years ago,” he told the show.
