One day into the second week of OTAs, and it’s already time to see if Troy Fautanu can work with the first team. It was confirmed that the Pittsburgh Steelers first-round pick got some reps with the first team on Tuesday, a first for the Washington product.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are getting settled in for their second week of OTAs at UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on the South Side, and Alan Saunders and Nick Farabaugh of Steelers Now were there to break it down.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have big plans for their future with 2024 first-round draft pick Troy Fautanu. Fautanu was drafted out of the University of Washington as one of the best offensive tackles and hopes to build a legacy in Pittsburgh.
The Pittsburgh Steelers entered the 2024 NFL Draft with a clear need at the center position. As the draft began, they found incredible value with their 20th overall pick, selecting offensive lineman Troy Fautanu.
At the first week of OTAs, Pittsburgh Steelers left tackle Dan Moore Jr. was upfront when asked about the possibility of playing on the right side. It’s something that Moore is just not comfortable with, and that might be why rookie Troy Fautanu is playing over there.
The Pittsburgh Steelers invested heavily in the offensive line during the 2024 NFL Draft. A year after moving up to select offensive tackle Broderick Jones with the 14th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the team waited patiently as University of Washington tackle Troy Fautanu fell to the 20th overall pick.
Pittsburgh Steelers’ first-round selection Troy Fautanu is only two days in at OTAs and already realizes that the NFL is on a whole different level than the college game.
Like any rookie, Fautanu has had some early bumps in the road during the start of OTAs.
The Pittsburgh Steelers have made significant efforts to improve their offensive line over the last couple of seasons. In the 2023 NFL Draft, the Steelers traded up to select offensive tackle Broderick Jones.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are in the midst of pretty much completely revamping what the offensive line looked like just two seasons ago in 2022. The only remaining starter from that unit is Dan Moore Jr., who has had a decent career, but he has really been lauded for his availability.
When the Pittsburgh Steelers picked Troy Fautanu in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, it naturally raised questions for Dan Moore Jr. and Broderick Jones since Fautanu had started almost entirely at left tackle at Washington while playing a bit of left guard.
General manager Omar Khan said earlier this offseason, at the 2024 NFL Combine, that the Pittsburgh Steelers still see Broderick Jones’ future at left tackle.

Pittsburgh Steelers first-round pick Troy Fautanu will have a great mentor in his rookie season, as the team placed his locker next to veteran Isaac Seumalo.
Following the 2024 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers still had the worst odds to win the AFC North at +700, according to one sportsbook. The Baltimore Ravens are the favorites at +125, followed by the Cincinnati Bengals (+175) and Cleveland Browns (+500).
The Pittsburgh Steelers kicked off their three-day rookie minicamp this week, and first round draft pick Troy Fautanu out of Washington was overfilled with emotions.
