Fautanu emerged as an anchor for Washington's offensive line, playing primarily at left tackle in 2023. Despite his arm length suitable for tackle, some teams view him as an interior lineman, possibly a center.
Offensive line coach Pat Meyer attended Fautanu's Pro Day at Washington, showing Steelers' interest. Fautanu, a Steelers fan, visited the team pre-draft and idolized Troy Polamalu.
With extensive experience and high-level play at Washington, Fautanu offers versatility for the Steelers' offensive line needs. Steelers targeted him despite not traditionally choosing West Coast prospects in the first round.
