Pittsburgh Steelers beat writer Mark Kaboly has expressed strong opposition to shifting offensive tackle Troy Fautanu to guard. Kaboly said the team should keep Fautanu at right tackle where he proved effective last season.
Kaboly made the comments Wednesday on 93.7 The Fan. He stated that the Steelers already have a player who has shown he can perform well at tackle and saw no reason to move him inside the line.
