Pittsburgh Review

Randy Hoffert from New Holland, PA, expressed his opinion that the Steelers should have drafted Tyler Guyton instead of Troy Fautanu. He described Guyton as a better player and criticized Fautanu's durability. In response, it was noted that Fautanu was picked 20th overall in the 2024 NFL Draft by the Steelers, while Guyton went to Dallas at 29th overall. Fautanu missed most of his rookie season due to a knee injury, whereas Guyton played in 15 games with 11 starts. The assertion about Fautanu's college health was countered with facts showing he played in 41 games over four seasons at the University of Washington.
