Pittsburgh Steelers first-round draft pick Troy Fautanu grew up a Steelers fan, largely because of former safety Troy Polamalu. Fautanu grew up a huge Polamalu fan, and he said after the Steelers selected him, Polamalu reached out to congratulate him.
“He did reach out to me yesterday. I lost my phone yesterday after the draft after they announced it, so the whole entire time I was getting phone calls and text messages so I’m scrolling and I see a caller ID that said Troy Polamalu, so I’m like ‘oh shoot, I gotta call this guy back.’ So I call him back, he didn’t answer, I’m sure he was busy.
