Troy Fautanu comes into the NFL with more experience than Broderick Jones, but does that mean he will play sooner? The 14th-overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, Jones didn’t crack the starting lineup until Week 9. He lost the starting left tackle job to incumbent Dan Moore Jr.
And Moore could also potentially stand in Fautanu’s way, one way or another, if he doesn’t stand in his own. The Steelers want to move Jones from right to left, but that’s contingent upon Fautanu taking over on the right. A college left tackle, he is re-learning the position now, not without growing pains.
