With the first of 10 voluntary OTA sessions kicking off today, nearly the entire team is in attendance working together for the first time. One of the big storylines to watch throughout the next 10 days is how the tackle competition is sorted out. Second-year OT Broderick Jones was drafted to play left tackle, but ended up on the right side for the majority of last season. The Steelers then drafted OT Troy Fautanu in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, and most of his experience is on the right side.
At rookie minicamp, they had Fautanu working on the right side which gave an early indication of how the tackle alignment may work out between the two of them.
