Troy Fautanu ‘Looks A Lot Better At Right Tackle Than I Did’, Dan Moore Jr. Says

Related Topics: Marty Moore, Broderick Jones

Pittsburgh Steelers T Dan Moore Jr. knows how hard it can be to switch sides, which is precisely the reason he is impressed with the progress rookie Troy Fautanu is making. Though he had a high school background at right tackle, Fautanu played on the left side in college. As did Broderick Jones, who moved to right tackle as a rookie last year.

Moore’s praise of Jones at right tackle last year struck a self-serving note in the hopes of preserving his job. He put down his own abilities to transition to right tackle, viewing himself as a left tackle, ultimately saying that Jones is better at it than he is.
