"I personally think he could play any position on the O-line and be an All-Pro at any of them," Heyward stated emphatically. "I'm not just talking. I think he's got all the tools."
Fautanu's seamless adaptation and technical polish haven't happened by accident. Heyward revealed that the young lineman actively dissects film of the NFL's premier offensive tackles, taking mental notes on perennial All-Pros like Trent Williams and Lane Johnson to refine his personal skill set.
"He watches a lot of film. We were just talking the other day," Heyward shared. "He looks at guys like Trent Williams and Lane Johnson and, you know, just trying different things."

"When I watch him compete and I watch how he's, you know, crafting different things, there's a level of respect there," Heyward noted. "And, you know, I think Troy's putting it all together."
For a franchise that has been focused on building physical offensive line play, Heyward's belief in Fautanu signals a bright future up front for the Steelers .
