The Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2024 rookie class included several immediate contributors. Unfortunately, that list did not include Troy Fautanu, who missed almost the entire year due to injury. It looked like he was just about to get a chance to start at right tackle, too. When he was drafted, there was a lot of uncertainty about where Fautanu would play. Dan Moore Jr. and Broderick Jones left the offensive tackle room crowded. However, according to Steelers insider Gerry Dulac, it appears the team was fine playing Fautanu at guard as well.
“I will tell you, when they drafted him last year, they thought, if they had to, they would play him at guard if they were going to leave Broderick Jones at right tackle and Dan Moore at left,” Dulac said recently on Steelers Nation Radio.
