The selection of Washington offensive lineman Troy Fautanu at No. 20 overall in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft Thursday night by the Pittsburgh Steelers was not a surprise, in terms of the interest the team showed in the former Huskies standout throughout the pre-draft process.
What is a surprise though is that the Steelers view him as a tackle. Head coach Mike Tomlin made that clear Thursday night when discussing the draft pick, which raises some questions, specifically regarding second-year offensive tackle Broderick Jones, about whom the Steelers stated this offseason they want to move back to left tackle.
