Count Rich Muraco, the head football coach at Liberty High School in Las Vegas, among the multitude of people who were shocked that Washington OT Troy Fautanu was still available at pick No. 20 in this year’s NFL draft.
Muraco had a vested interest in the draft. He happens to be Fautanu’s former high school coach. So, of course, he was watching anxiously to see where his former player would end up. The Steelers stopped any perceived draft tumble that Fautanu had taken, happily taking him with the 20th overall selection.
If you listen back to Mike Tomlin's draft call to Troy Fautanu, you can hear scout Kelvin Fisher (over Tomlin's shoulder) call out "7 out of 20"
Based on that & how the Steelers build their board, I think Fautanu was their No.
