It might have been just a pro day for highly rated kicking prospect Roberto Aguayo, but Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin tried to make it feels like a real game.

As the former FSU star stepped up to attempt a 50-yard field goal, Tomlin did what he would do if he were the opposing coach -- he called a timeout.

"Tomlin called a timeout," Aguayo told ESPN. "They want to see you still kick it because you can test, see where the wind's blowing and everything, so they liked that, how I kicked it still. It was a 50-yarder."

Aguayo was proud of the way he handled the intentional distraction.

"You can't get flustered," he said. "You can't step back and get flustered, because that's what they're looking at. At the end of the day I think I finished strong and finished with that game-winning [kick]. They called the timeout and I kicked it again, so they liked that. I think I had a great workout."
