Fittipaldo: Troy Fautanu, Broderick Jones Will Start, But On What Side Remains A Question

Related Topics: Broderick Jones

The Pittsburgh Steelers spent a first-round pick in each of the last two drafts on the offensive tackle position, trading up to take Broderick Jones in 2023 before selecting Troy Fautanu at No. 20 overall in 2024. While Jones wasn’t a Day 1 starter as a rookie, he eventually worked his way into the starting lineup. He will start this season, while Fautanu could be a Day 1 starter as he has more college experience than Jones had. However, while Jones primarily played right tackle last season, his natural position is left tackle, which is also where Fautanu played the majority of his reps in college.
