The Pittsburgh Steelers saw Troy Fautanu as a top talent, which is why they drafted him in the first round. That doesn’t necessarily mean that they see him as a surefire opening-day starter. After all, they traded up to draft Broderick Jones last year, and it took him some time to start. Expect them to practice patience with the latest rookie as well, Ray Fittipaldo says.
“They will get to see Fautanu against quality competition enough in camp to make that determination. There are plenty of reps to go around. It’s not just the team periods”, he said last week via the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
