On Thursday evening, the Pittsburgh Steelers took a big step towards solidifying their offensive line with the selection of Washington OT Troy Fautanu. He plays like a bully and has the athleticism and strength to back it up which is perfectly suited for the way the Steelers want to do things on offense. He grew up a Steelers fan, and is elated to be playing for the team that he grew up idolizing.
His initial interest in the team came via his aunt and uncle who were Steelers fans, and he looked up to Troy Polamalu who shares a Samoan heritage with Fautanu.
