Troy Fautanu Poised To Make Position Switch – But It’s Not A New One

If the first two days of Pittsburgh Steelers rookie minicamp tells us anything, the team plans to move Troy Fautanu from his college left tackle spot to the right side. In turn, Broderick Jones will flip from right tackle to his college home of left tackle.

On paper, it looks like a big switch for Fautanu. He entire time at Washington was spent on the left side, mostly at left tackle with two starts at left guard. Now, he’ll have to reprogram himself to move and punch the opposite way. But digging into his background some more, it might not be as daunting as it seems.
