Shaun Suisham's Steelers career a testament to perseverance

Shaun Suisham bounced around the NFL for years before finding a permanent home with the Steelers in 2010. Not only did he find a home, he shed his early-career label as that of a choke-artist and became one of the most accurate kickers in football.

There is very little patience in the NFL for mistakes.

Whether it's a coach, a fan or a journalist, if a player messes up in a game, someone will notice it, and change will be demanded.

In the case of a position player, that could mean a trip to the bench.
