As the Pittsburgh Steelers’ selection drew closer and closer in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft Thursday night in Detroit, there was a lot of anticipation for a team that had a number of holes on the roster entering the three-day draft. Like many believed would happen, the Steelers addressed the offensive line at No. 20 overall. But it wasn’t a name many expected, largely because many believed that Washington offensive lineman Troy Fautanu would be off the board well before No. 20.
His slide fell right into the Steelers’ lap, and they’re better off for it.
