After coming into the game on the third offensive series for the Pittsburgh Steelers Friday night in their preseason opener against the Houston Texans at Acrisure Stadium, rookie RT Troy Fautanu had an up-and-down showing in 25 snaps.
Fautanu graded out at a 63.7 overall from Pro Football Focus. Thirteen of his snaps came on running plays while the other 12 were in pass protection. While Fautanu was charged with one sack allowed and two pressures given up, for the most part the rookie was as expected, showing off his athleticism in the run game, moving people off the spot.
