Making his first career NFL start, Pittsburgh Steelers rookie right tackle Troy Fautanu appeared to pass with flying colors Sunday in the Steelers’ 13-6 in over the Denver Broncos at Empower Field in Mile High.
Fautanu played 55 snaps against the Broncos and earned the Player of the Game award from Pro Football Focus after the Steelers improved to 2-0.
“Steelers tackle Troy Fautanu‘s NFL career couldn’t have gotten off to a much better start. The first-round pick slotted in at right tackle after missing Week 1, and he allowed no pressure and went unbeaten across 29 pass-blocking snaps,” PFF’s Ben Cooper writes.
