Not for a second have the Pittsburgh Steelers tempered expectations over first-round pick offensive tackle Troy Fautanu. Though much of his rookie year was lost due to two knee injuries, his brief time in the lineup gave the organization even more confidence that he was the right selection. Beat writer Ray Fittipaldo detailed those feelings during a Friday interview with 93.7 The Fan.
“But I wanna say probably from July 24th or 25th, I think until August 9th when that injury took place, they probably had 14 to 15 practices,” Fittipaldo told The Fan’s Joe Starkey.
