Justin Tucker almost joined the Steelers?!

Justin Tucker might be the best kicker in NFL history — and he almost joined the Steelers before signing with the Ravens in 2012.

ESPN recently released an in-depth look at Tucker's rise to greatness, starting with going undrafted out of the University of Texas and ending with becoming a key contributor for the Ravens.

Before signing with Baltimore, however, Tucker fielded a call from the Steelers. After an "outstanding" rookie minicamp, Ravens doctors failed Tucker's physical for a back issue. This opened the door for others to swoop in, as he could not officially sign with the Ravens until he was cleared.
