Leading up to the 20th overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers saw the draft board break quite well for them Thursday night in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft.
But when the Steelers were on the clock, GM Omar Khan and head coach Mike Tomlin knew what to do: land Washington offensive tackle Troy Fautanu.
The Steelers made the Washington standout offensive lineman the selection Thursday night, addressing the offensive line in the first round for the second straight season. In the process, even with the phone reportedly ringing off the hook with the Steelers on the clock, according to Khan and Tomlin, the Steelers simply weren’t moving off of Fautanu at No.
