The Pittsburgh Steelers have always wanted to play Broderick Jones at left tackle, needing only two preconditions. In the first instances, he needed to earn a starting job. He only entered the starting lineup in the middle of his rookie season, and at right tackle. Meeting that first condition, the second became necessary in finding a right tackle.
The early indications are the Steelers believe they found one in Troy Fautanu. A first-round pick, Fautanu spent nearly all, but not all, of his college career at left tackle. Yet as we pointed out, he does have a high school background at right tackle.
