The Pittsburgh Steelers entered the 2024 NFL Draft with a need at right tackle. Several of the top tackles were already off the board by the Steelers’ first-round pick, but they stuck with No. 20 and selected Washington OT Troy Fautanu. This complicates things with the tackle room in Pittsburgh as the Steelers have stated their desire to move Broderick Jones back to the left side. Fautanu was a left tackle for basically his entire collegiate career at Washington.
In a conference call with the Pittsburgh media following the pick, Fautanu was asked if he is going to be on the left or right side.
