The Pittsburgh Steelers managed to snag a bookend offensive tackle in their second consecutive draft, landing Washington OT Troy Fautanu in the first round at 20th overall. He now joins a Pittsburgh Steelers offensive line that selected OT Broderick Jones a year prior on the first day of the draft, taking a tackle prospect with impressive athleticism and movement skills at the position. Fautanu appears to bring a similar skill set to Pittsburgh as an impressive athlete in his own right, running a 5.01 40-yard dash while posting an impressive 32.5″ vertical and a 9’5 broad.
While the testing numbers are nice, the tape speaks greater volumes regarding Fautanu and his movement skills as an offensive tackle.
