Troy Fautanu Earned Trust From Team With Quick Development, Dan Moore Jr. Says

It is looking more likely that Troy Fautanu will be making his NFL debut on the road in Week 2 against the Denver Broncos. The Pittsburgh Steelers were elated that he fell to them at pick No. 20 in the 2024 NFL Draft, and now they appear to be putting him on the fast track to be their starting right tackle.

With how well Dan Moore Jr. has been playing in the preseason and in Week 1, this will come at the expense of former first-round pick Broderick Jones.

Rookie debuts can be a little rough around the edges, but Fautanu just watched his fellow 2024 draftee Zach Frazier have an amazing debut in Week 1.
