A year ago, Dan Moore Jr. took then-rookie Broderick Jones under his wing, showing him the ropes. Now he’s just as proud of watching Jones, just one year later, doing the same for Troy Fautanu. “That’s what it’s all about”, he said last week via the team’s website, building up the team from within.
All three are competing at the tackle positions for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Moore is the incumbent starter at left tackle for the past three seasons. Jones, a first-round pick a year ago, moved into the starting lineup at right tackle by midseason.
