Jason Mackey: Steelers will need Troy Fautanu to become more than a fairytale story
Published in Football
So excited was Fautanu during his draft party that he actually misplaced his cellphone, returning to find a bunch of messages from family and friends. Some of them may have stemmed from the later portion of the first round when Fautanu unexpectedly fell to his favorite team.
"Everything happens for a reason," Fautanu said.
Sure does — especially when it comes to juicy storylines like this one.
But when it comes to the Steelers, who have so many goals still in front of them, including bumping Jones to the left side and picking up a center on Friday, it must be more than an entertaining narrative.
This must be the addition of a player who helps them right away because there was no shortage of them available when the Steelers made their pick.
"I don't want to beat a dead horse," Fautanu said. "But I'm just so happy that this is the organization that took a chance on me.
"I'm ready to pour everything into this organization and get to work."
