Pittsburgh Steelers offensive tackle Alejandro Villanueva made headlines recently for being the only player in his team to stand during the anthem.

To recap, all of the Steelers players chose to stay inside the tunnel to protest during the national anthem. But Villanueva was the only player to stand outside the tunnel, holding his hand over his heart and singing along.
