How he got there: The former Ute standout is going to the Super Bowl, though he's still waiting to play his first snap. Kemoeatu was selected in the sixth round of the 2005 NFL Draft. However, he's been relegated to the inactive list for a team that historically has a strong running game and powerful offensive line. Kemoeatu was active for just one game this season and did not play. He was also inactive for the Steelers' three playoff victories. However, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Kemoeatu practiced with the first-team offense in early December when the O-line was struggling. "I guess they wanted to see where I'm at, as far as knowing the offense," Kemoeatu told the Post-Gazette. "I don't know what they were trying to do, but I'm ready. I have to be ready if they call my name."
