Analistas señalan al tackle de los Steelers Troy Fautanu como un factor determinante

Dos analistas de la NFL han identificado al tackle ofensivo de tercer año Troy Fautanu como el factor determinante más importante para los Pittsburgh Steelers de cara a la temporada 2026.

Mina Kimes de ESPN y el ex scout de la NFL Brentley Weissman destacaron la rápida mejora de Fautanu después de que se perdiera la mayor parte de su año de novato debido a lesiones de rodilla. En su segunda temporada, Fautanu fue titular en todos los partidos como tackle derecho, disputando 1,088 jugadas y permitiendo solo 31 presiones y tres capturas, según los analistas. Weissman señaló que Fautanu ocupó el puesto 17 entre los tackles de la NFL en tasa de victorias en bloqueo de pase el año pasado y calificó su potencial como altísimo tras haber sido seleccionado proveniente de Washington.
