Look out Steelers fans, the pads are finally on at training camp! In classic steel sharpens steel scenario, second-year OT Troy Fautanu soundly handled superstar OLB T.J. Watt in one-on-ones.
On Wednesday, the stage was set for the first DL vs. OL drills, and while most would shudder at the idea of blocking Watt, Fautanu didn’t flinch — earning two consecutive wins over the NFL’s highest-paid non-quarterback.
Previously at camp, Fautanu and Watt traded victories during team drills — but momentum is clearly behind the Steelers right tackle since the pads have come on.
Watt will have plenty of chances to get his wins back against the rookie tackle as training camp rolls on through August 12 — and we at Steelers Wire will be there every step of the way with exciting updates on player performances, health updates, and more.
