Pittsburgh Steelers OT Troy Fautanu missed nearly the entirety of his rookie season with a knee injury, but the Steelers are relying on a second-year bounceback. NFL Media’s Bucky Brooks thinks they’ll get one, as Brooks put Fautanu on his 2025 breakout team.
“Because of a knee injury, Fautanu played in just one game as a rookie. Now, though, he has a chance to earn Pro Bowl consideration as a first-time starter, thanks to his exceptional talent and polished technique. He is a natural edge blocker with the balance, body control and lateral quickness to effectively shadowbox pass rushers in space,” Brooks wrote.
