Indianapolis Colts kicker Pat McAfee's hit on Denver Broncos return man Trindon Holliday was so spectacular that it got the attention of Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, who knows a thing or two about lowering the boom on ball carriers:

The hit, which you can see below, was pretty epic:
Perhaps league officials see this hit as being too good to be true, coming from a kicker, even if McAfee is listed as being bigger than Holliday: 6-1 and 233 pounds vs. 5-5 and 170 pounds. Or else why was McAfee summoned for a ... follow-up evaluation?
Guys... Make one random tackle... And end up on a "Random" steroid test.. Must be my bod #UpperBodyOfAnAdolescent pic.twitter.com/s9B7LrS89Y

Of course, even if McAfee comes up clean on the steroid test, the league could still ding him for the kind of hit he applied:
