Omg I love Fautanu. “That’s not me, I’m ready to play ball” and “I wouldn’t want any other colors”. A Steeler thru and thru and he’s only just beginning his journey. Aussie Steelers love ya mate. Here We Go!!!

[@SugaRay5x2]

🎉🎉🎉🎉Facts he is well spoken

[@sandyaw3057]

I am so impressed!

[@E4create]

​@SteelerzReignSupremeII Even being educated or very intelligent doesn't mean it would be easy to speak in front of crowds with pressure being put on you. Just speaking in general

[@obiwonkanoli]

@SteelerzReignSupremeII always blows me away people like you are willing to argue ANYTHING in comments. Every single draft prospect comes from college and half of them don’t sound anywhere close to him.

[@3kslayerrrrr]

Can we stop asking Payton Wilson so many injury questions?? He’s ready to go. He’s cleared by doctors and he’s made it clear he wouldn’t be here if it was serious.

[@iClutxhy]

He had like 10 surgeries what do you expect

[@3kslayerrrrr]

@@iClutxhy expect some, but that’s all the media ever asks him about. You think he’s not tired of it and just wants to work?

[@iClutxhy]

You right . But 10 surgeries is risky because I saw something about the doctors did clear him for the NFL

[@retrotv1988]

They did the same thing with my guy Trice

[@shaneknight44]

I 100% agree Manny. I expect to hear him answer their same old questions once maybe twice, then move on to something else! There is more to him than his past injuries.

[@SteelSquad412]

Troy Fautanu growing up a Steeler fan the last decade or so explains why his mentality is already locked in on a Super Bowl chase and he only just started mini camp! He’s been watching us chase #7 for awhile and feels like he can now be a reason why we make it there instead of watching from his couch like he has had to do in the past! Man that has to be a crazy feeling to join your favorite team to help them chase the ring you’ve been dying for them to get the last 15+ years! #SteelerNation

[@E4create]

Man it's a dream for us all gotta live through guys like Troy 🙏🏼🤣

[@sandyaw3057]

Thank you, I really appreciate it!

[@dogthatshags]

All 4 of these young guys are so impressive, 3 who just seem made to be Steelers and 1 who seems super confident and wanting to learn. 100% for these 4 guys.

[@rickyayy]

Whose the 1 I wonder

[@Lorddurango]

Troy is one of the most well spoken young men ive seen get drafted. He is going to be an absolute animal and i cant wait to see him play in person this coming season 😎

[@herfjones3]

This team feels different. Am fired up

[@darknighttt55]

Felt different last year and the year before 😂😂

[@luisd8917]

​@darknighttt55 yhea and this year no Trubisky.

[@SugaRay5x2]

Facts

[@KingMuncheez]

@@darknighttt55it’s trending in a better direction. I’m staying optimistic but realistic too but this core of young guys the last few drafts feels like a good trend towards the future. When the D-line and long term qb situation n maybe another corner and wr pending how some guys pan out, this team has the pieces around to at the very least be a very annoying 3rd/middle tier team that’s hard to beat unless the other team is just all out elite n even then we usually beat those teams when we shouldn’t.

[@theroyalyogi9981]

@@darknighttt55no it didn’t 😂😂 we was always worried about the QB now we know we got a QB better than Mitch and Jenny that went to a bowl with a great defense

[@trevorpapineau7302]

I am so freaking excited to see Payton Wilson play.

[@blitzburgh9066]

Holy shit we get it Payton Wilson has an injury history… can yall ask him some real questions?

[@shaneknight44]

Seriously Blitz! I’m with you! Some of the press make me so angry. The young man is showing good patience but you know he wants to talk football not his injuries

[@stevensharples286]

No doubt. They seriously need new material. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@josh7916]

Let’s go man ! Great class !

[@mitchsing1109]

Troy your right on track for a long career what ever the position. 🇨🇦

[@MarvyG23]

Excited for this rookie class

[@blahdzhahd3736]

I can't say if any of these young men will be superstars, but they all seem to have good heads on their shoulders and come off as genuinely good people with strong morals/values. Looking forward to seeing what they can do on the field.

[@glennmango8412]

I've been a Steelers fan since 1972

[@jasperwiggins9459]

How can you listen to these young men and not be impressed? All seem like their mindset is impressive, both on and off the field. Kudos to their parents and coaches, and the Steelers for selecting such fine young men.

[@davep5625]

Got the line beefed up, whole new QB room…. Haven’t felt this confident in the offseason since the golden days of Big Ben. Super stoaked, LETS GO FELLAS! Stairway to Seven!!!

[@Jimbo_Jumbo]

Mason will be a HOF guard. Idk why I just get the feeling he will be.

I think this is real now

[@retrotv1988]

Our rookie class looking good gonna mesh well with the team 😎

[@jamesherbst2429]

Good answers by everyone including Frazier. Whoever asked that maturity/immature question regarding the o-line - what a wild question to ask a rookie - almost baiting him to say something dumb. Glad he gave a good answer

[@dillwidit]

i like the selections even more after listening to them! lettsss goo!!!

[@AldoSantomauro]

Steelers are going to have a great O-line with these beast 💪 🖤💛... Cant wait for the season start...

[@TheTrainMan570]

There is no way you can’t love each and everyone of these these guys. I am so goddamn excited for the future of these dudes.

[@matthewsaunders5300]

Let Peyton Wilson Enjoy His 1st Practice Got Damn These PGH Reporters Are AHoles

[@lagoontoursbahamas6380]

Yea I was trying to figure out what you were talking about at first but these dudes (reporters) are Pricks..

[@3kslayerrrrr]

Right? Pitt reporters always want to start drama

[@noahadams9482]

right why are we always putting mics in their faces

[@MrNoverlee]

Agreed sometimes I can't stand reporters sometimes reporters are like nagging girlfriends LOL

[@shaneknight44]

You would think the press would want to stand out and ask clever questions that let us see who these young studs are, and not the safe, tired questions they always ask.

[@obiwonkanoli]

It’s refreshing to hear a rookie say he’s willing to play any position the coaches tell him and actually mean it. He’s not just a yes man, he’s serious

[@georgecoull1883]

Speed 66, agility 69, strength 97, awareness 75, pass blk 96 , run blk 96 stud left tackle! Speed 64, agility 65, strength 98, awareness 70 , pass blk 88, run blk 98 stud center

[@barrymadickiner]

A classy class.

[@WordAte]

These guys all seem prepared to be part of Steelers culture. Troy is so humble and genuinely like a child, in the best way possible. Zach is really just content with who he is. Payton is grateful to still be playing the game. And Mason is loyal. Love these guys.

[@alienoverlordsnow1786]

A good questiion they should always ask the OL dudes- 'What do you like better, pass blocking or run blocking, and why?'- They will all say they prefer run blocking because they get to knock down linebackers and Db's.

[@EAZYSEESALL]

I expect tj to give this young man hell I expect him to adapt an become the best n the league

[@MarkRossi-e8n]

Looking forward to this new O line

[@GeraldAbney]

These Rookies are ready to go!!!!

[@graysonbillings6400]

very impressive, down to Earth and ready to work. go Steelers!!!

Honestly love fautanu but dam masons talk was damn good understanding his character and work ethic im excited for him even if hes not a day 1 starter he can develop well with tht mentality

[@MikeLit2]

[@E4create]

Man Peyton brings the juice !! His mindset is unreal. Same with Troy and the rest of the picks but damnn lets gooo

[@Lorddurango]

One thing ive noticed is how proud and happy new draft picks are to join the Steelers. Even ravens fans wanna play for the Steelers lol

[@kentsturgill5945]

Great question by DK, it's a concern of mine as well the amount of youth potentially on the O-line. I have little doubt about these guys in the future , I think they'll be great, but it may take some time for them to become cohesive as a unit. A lot of pressure,and high expectations hopefully people realize there may be some learning curves ahead. This O-line will eventually be great

[@jorgerico6202]

Folks we have a solid O-Line for the next 8 years if it all works out!! 💪🏼 Stay Healthy Young Man….Lets F’in Go!!

[@deansaints8769]

Here we gooooo!

@@josephdonovan9125 IDK how many of these 'reporters' are have the daily YT shows and podcasts, but the extension of media the last few years, the cutting back of true journalists, really has exposed how lucky we were back in the day with guys like Stan Savran and Sam Nover.

[@glennmango8412]

I love my black and gold

[@SteelSquad412]

This polite , Kind , Teddy Bear ..”I help old ladies with their groceries because it feels nice “ vibe that Zac Frazier presents when interviewed, gives you no insight to that DawgZilla he turns into on the football field! 💯😂

[@robertacampbell5382]

I truly believe the Steelers made the right choice in Ohmar and Andy. This is Ohmar 2nd draft in charge with HC and this has best the best 3 drafts in a long time. No offense to KC but in the last few of his drafts he did have more misses then hits but I jyst feel the Steelers r bringing in the right people for Pittsburgh and the team is turning the page and moving forward.

[@glennmango8412]

Everybody try to stay healthy this year

[@Villalobos63]

Bolstered the big uglys up front! I feel confident in these young men. I hope that this is the beginning of the next great Steelers O-line.

Ok, Fautanu is aged beyond his year's

[@victoryasher1729]

I was “like 442 “, which was my first car (1976 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442).

[@Steezysteven]

Just in the interviews and how they played in college these gentlemen are Steelers through and through mlb Wilson was a beast in college and the injury questions I bet can be annoying as hell

[@COA5T]

Okay, let's ask a rookie what his career ceiling is on Day 1....yea great question 😑

Man put Broderick at left and Troy at right

[@SteelSquad412]

Payton Wilson I’m sorry the Steelers media can be cringey af man! 🤦🏾‍♂️the way these reporters grilled him about his injuries and potential as soon as they got in front of him is why most of them are straight cornballs outside of DK and Chris Carter!

“Were you faster before your knee injury?” “Well I definitely didn’t run a 4.43 in 9th grade so…” 😂😭💀showing these reporters the clowns that they are

Jesus christ, any questions for Wilson besides injury questions?

All I will say is beware the quiet guys. Center and Guard will be absolute maulers and team first guys. Try swinging a helmet and those guys are likely to put you on IR.
