The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted Washington OT Troy Fautanu in the first round, and despite speculation he could kick to guard or even center in the NFL, head coach Mike Tomlin and general manager Omar Khan said that Fautanu would be a tackle for the team. That opened up the question of whether or not Broderick Jones, who Khan said earlier in this offseason would move to the left side “eventually” would stay on the right, as Fautanu has 2,027 snaps at left tackle in his collegiate career and just two at right tackle. However, in a chat today for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Gerry Dulac said that the plan remains to move Jones to the left side, his more natural position, while playing Fautanu at right tackle.
