The Pittsburgh Steelers made a bold move in the first round of the NFL draft by selecting offensive tackle Troy Fautanu with the 20th overall pick. Standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing 317 pounds, Fautanu is a powerhouse on the field.

Fautanu’s impressive performance at left tackle for the Washington Huskies earned him the prestigious Joe Moore Award, recognizing him as the top offensive lineman in the country. His addition to the Steelers’ roster brings depth and talent to an already strong offensive line.

With the recent acquisitions of quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, along with the hiring of offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, the Steelers are poised for an exciting season ahead. Fautanu’s versatility and skill set make him a valuable asset to the team as they look to build on their success from last season.

The Steelers had several needs to address in the draft, including at center and wide receiver, but ultimately decided to bolster their offensive line with Fautanu. His presence on the team could also allow for flexibility in positioning other players, such as Broderick Jones and Dan Moore Jr.

As the Steelers gear up for the upcoming season, fans can expect to see Fautanu making an impact on the field and helping to solidify the team’s offense. Stay tuned for more updates as the Steelers continue to make moves in preparation for the new season.
