First Person: Jeff Reed, Steelers Kicker

Posted Feb 10, 2006

"After I got cut by the Saints in 2002, I went to seven tryouts, including two with Seattle. Rian Lindell [then Seattle's kicker] missed a couple of big kicks, and they told me if he missed another one, I might be in. Well, he had a big day, and it never happened. A couple of weeks later Pittsburgh called." (Sports Illustrated)
