2024 Steelers first-round draft pick Troy Fautanu missed nearly all of his rookie season, so he’s not taking the opportunity in front of him lightly. In addition to a torn MCL, he suffered a dislocated kneecap, landing him on the Reserve/Injured List. Set to make his second debut of sorts, he reflected on the journey that has brought him here.
“I’m truly blessed to be in this position”, Fautanu told reporters yesterday, via the Steelers’ website. “Obviously, I was grateful last year being on the team, getting drafted. But to be in this position, looking back now at what I had to do through with rehab and stuff, battling my mental, I’m just super grateful that I’m here today, and so excited to see what this team could do”.
