Film Notes and Highlights
Troy Fautanu is an athletic offensive lineman. He shows great footwork in the open space, and utilizes his hands efficiently. Fautanu has no problems being the pulling lineman and does well in the run game. In the pass game Fautanu holds up well against strong opponents, holding his ground well even when put in disadvantageous situation. He has a tendency to be a tad overzealous, but that’s a good trait to have in an offensive lineman. Although he played at LT at Washington, I think he can play throughout the offensive line and have success. Fautanu should be an early Day 1 pick and instant contributor. – Thomas Christopher
