Let’s be honest here. The Pittsburgh Steelers have been very fortunate with place kickers in recent years.
Well, let’s forget about the Josh Scobee experiment for a second and go back to the days of Jeff Reed, before the Sheetz incident. Reed, who was picked up under Bill Cowher, won the job as an undrafted kicker out of North Carolina after Todd Peterson was injured, and held the job from 2002-2010.
When Reed left the team, Shaun Suisham, the kicker who seemingly couldn’t make an extra point for both the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins, came in and reinvented his career.
