Signed a four-year, $15.06 million contract with the Steelers in June of 2024.
Healthy for OTAs
Fautanu (knee) participated in Pittsburgh's OTAs on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Fautanu was the Steelers' first-round draft pick in 2024 but suffered a knee injury during the team's Week 2 win over Denver that landed him on injured reserve for the remainder of his rookie season. Now healthy again, he should serve as the team's starting right tackle during the upcoming campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might shift to blind side
Fautanu is open to switching from right tackle to left tackle this season, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2024 first-round pick was a star left tackle in college, but the Steelers have deployed him on the other side of the line to begin his career. With Broderick Jones potentially set to miss the beginning of the 2026 campaign after undergoing neck surgery, however, and Pittsburgh having used its 2026 first-round pick on Max Iheanachor, who could be better suited for right tackle, Fautanu may need to return to his college position.
