‘I Think I’m A Tackle’: Washington OL Troy Fautanu Thinks Guard, Center Talk Is ‘Lazy Analysis’

One of the more interesting prospects at offensive tackle in the 2024 NFL Draft is Troy Fautanu. Outside of 99 snaps at left guard, and two snaps at right tackle, he had three very solid seasons at left tackle for the University of Washington. Many have speculated that he could kick inside to guard because he lacks the ideal height to play tackle at the NFL level, but he makes up for it with good arm length.

He measured in at 6036, 317 pounds, with 34 1/2-inch arms at the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine. Typically, 6-4 is the shortest you will see for an NFL tackle, but he well exceeds the minimum ideal arm length of about 33 inches.
