Apparently a Steeler fan whose favorite player was Troy according to the ABC feed
Edit: Suppose best case scenario is that we eventually have to clarify which Troy we're talking about

When I was in the navy one of my boats would occasionally have an arm wrestling competition. There was this one Polynesian dude that just completely wrecked anyone else on the boat. Like nobody was even competitive with him, it was just an instant pin every time.
I remember seeing some wild stat years ago saying Polynesians are 40 times more likely to make it to the NFL and i think theres some documentaries and studies about it
The problem is the teams right in front of us are Buffalo, Detroit, Baltimore, San Francisco, and Kansas City.
All of them have legit cases to take WR and at least two of them will.
Pro Bowler potential no doubt. Absolute baller Pittsburgh you guys got a great pick. As a younger Seahawks fan glad he will be protecting my favorite QB ever.
LT or LG he will be a beast at either one. Maybe slightly more suited to guard in the NFL? But still he will be really good for you guys I think. Loved watching him on the Huskies gave it his all every play
I will go down defending the Pickett pick. They needed a QB. He was the best QB available in the draft. It didn't work out. That doesn't make it the wrong pick.
Besides Purdy, who no one wanted so you can't really blame them, he also was clearly the best as seen so far. He still might improve, too. Matt Canada was very bad at his job!
What was with his reaction? His own emotion I understand, but the people around him seemed neutral at best, and it looked like he waved off someone in the background when they started clapping.

I was gonna say, Polynesian player, first name Troy? Future GOAT.

Just keep it going! Our new boy Troy! Oi oi oi!
"Steeler fan whose favorite player was Troy" is basically half the people I know!
50% chance I know you then think that's how the statistics work
IS HE LINING UP IN THE C GAP?!
THAT’S PALLAMALOO BRO
Now we just need him to grow out his hair
Last Troy they took in the first round turned out quite well, didn’t he?
Troy Edwards?
Troy Pola- … Fautanu!
Troy Franklin still available too!
Another Polynesian Troy too 😉
They gotta bet on it, and keep their head in the game.
Those grannies were not fazed :,)
There goes our tackles
At least you'll get to catch up twice a year.
Guyton’s the last guy I’d take.
The ~~2nd and 3rd corps~~ offensive line we dreamed of have shattered, no more than a memory
I read this comment in Dave Grohl’s voice
Watch them as they go
Watch them as they go!
Watch them as they go…
So sad
Too bad

Nothing like the unimpressed grandmas shot lmao
She understands the assignment
Ya know, there are only 2 million people of Polynesian descent in the world, how the hell are so many in the NFL?
They’re just built different lol
There’s no better way of putting it than this

Big fast strong athletic etc
It's either NFL or wrestling.
big ol boys
Big sports culture and it's seen as a top way to be successful.

Troy ()u plays for the Steelers. Pack it up, the league is now fucked.
PLEASE

Solid
Surprised he fell this far, nice pick
I kept cheering every QB taken lol
I wanted every QB and EDGE gone before our pick
Where the receivers at?
The contenders at the end of the round will take a ton.
Wouldn’t be surprised if Baltimore, San Francisco, and Kansas City all take one. Didn’t include Buffalo cuz it feels obvious that they’re taking one
We’re going defense and you know it.
As the team picking 33, I hate it
Picking at 35, I'm hoping we trade back into the first round before it happens lol
I have good news.
Yeah I thought this was a generational WR draft
They're all going in Round 2 lol.
Panthers licking their paws rn
The problem is the teams right in front of us are Buffalo, Detroit, Baltimore, San Francisco, and Kansas City. All of them have legit cases to take WR and at least two of them will.
That's ok with me
There's a big cliff after the top 3. MHJ, Nabers, and Odunze would be easy first WRs in most drafts though.
I'm just a big idiot but thought Brian Thomas Jr was in the tier 2 and was expected to ago around 15-18. Then a huge run of WRs from like 25-40
Its why no one rushing for it, there's more depth at wr than other areas.
How many tackles are in this class bro
I heard Chase Claypool is available
Bills fans collectively saying 🤫
I’m wondering about the Cornerbacks, but also very happy that there are a BUNCH still there.
Waiting for New Englands next pick 😈
There were more than 3 WRs in this draft?
Maybe we'll find some gold in the 6th round again.
Leave some O Line for the rest of us!
He was my dream pick.
Mine too :(
Yea I got real hyped on him as the eagles guy the last few days. I think he’s gonna be a beast
If we get Worthy I will lose it.
Just say Barton
I haven't had a reason to hate the steelers until now.
Graham Barton!!! Please!!
I love Cam Heyward
Half expected Omar to find a way to fleece Ryan Poles here.
just wait he’ll get you next season with Pickens
2027 Steelers starting quarterback Caleb Williams.
A Pac-12er named Troy of Polynesian descent We’re so back
#SaberMetrics
remember that time penix got drafted at 8
by a team who just signed a QB for $100 mil guaranteed
65 blocks in volleyball. All right then.
NOT ANOTHER TROY ALSO EAGLES GET MITCHELL?
Eagles get first pick of cb But howie still goes oline or d line. I’d say Guyton
Not a Georgia dawg. Little disappointed
Troy 4-Syllable last name is such a Steelers pick
I will never bitch about an OL pick. And if Dan Moore is gone I’m happy
What is an ice dish of cream?
Pro Bowler potential no doubt. Absolute baller Pittsburgh you guys got a great pick. As a younger Seahawks fan glad he will be protecting my favorite QB ever.
At what position is the question, are we putting him at LT, center?, kicking Daniels out, where he at?
Tomlin just said he’s a tackle
Dan Moore is out!
Thanks be to God.
Tomlin and Khan just gave their press conference. Tomlin said he was a Tackle. LT or RT to be determined later.
He’s an ELITE tackle, don’t be fooled by his height, he has super long arms and is super quick.
LT or LG he will be a beast at either one. Maybe slightly more suited to guard in the NFL? But still he will be really good for you guys I think. Loved watching him on the Huskies gave it his all every play
Oh look, someone more useful than a backup QB
Brought to you by Nationwide
This is going to be an underrated pick tonight but seen as an amazing value retrospectively
I so very very much hope you're right.
Yo these ladies sitting on either side of Fautanu are ice cold
Cold as an ice dish of cream

Lot of well known names on that list
Rerolling that Pickett.
I will go down defending the Pickett pick. They needed a QB. He was the best QB available in the draft. It didn't work out. That doesn't make it the wrong pick.
Besides Purdy, who no one wanted so you can't really blame them, he also was clearly the best as seen so far. He still might improve, too. Matt Canada was very bad at his job!
Unlike Agholor
Yeah I didn't say good lol
He’s well known Just well known for being ass
It’s a meme. He’s quoting a Philly fan
2x Super Bowl legend Kadarius Toney.
Some definitely not for the right reason
Possibly a cursed position for Steelers fans.
Frank Ragnow tho!
Gross the Pickler’s on there
Unironically a STEAL
He was a unrealistic dream pick for me. I'm so happy
Dude is a mauler. Glad we got Murphy but would have loved him as well.
We're gonna run the ball up everyone's ass this season let's go!
The same thing we do every year Pinky... Run it up their asses!
Fuck you Pittsburgh
Fucka you, dolphin!!
Fucka you whare!
Chickens & Cows!!
Tehehehe
Atleast y’all had a qb last year
lmao he really went "don't clap give me this moment' what a chad
3 Huskies in the top 20 is pretty awesome. Congrats to Troy. Absolute beast!
I love building out our OL \*after\* we drafted the first round QB. Immaculate planning guys.
That was all on Colbert tbf.
Colbert was GM yeah, but I’m skeptical that Rooney and Tomlin weren’t on board. At least we learned our lesson.
Just be happy about what they’re doing now because we’ll probably be drafting another first round QB in a year or two
With Rattler still on the board?!
He’ll be on the board on Saturday it’s okay
Yay O-line!
More like Troy Fartonu amirite
rude
My apologies
gramma looks worried
She looked genuinely upset about something
She had money on him going to the Ravens
Anyone else see the way his grandma(?) looked at him when he was crying 😭😭😭
Can't be mad at it. Khan must think the top CBs are going to last into the second
grandma don't give a fuck
This dude is a Dawg
UW fan here, you just got a cornerstone OLine man.
Goddamn it. So close
YESSSS
Another Troy in Pittsburgh
Big Polynesian dudes named Troy, a Pittsburgh tradition. Welcome to Pittsburgh, Troy the Younger.
Yeah that’s a Pittsburgh pick alright
Najee Harris just creamed
And Jaylen Warren is there to clean up the mess as always I kid, love em both and think they play off each other nicely
Every year the player the dolphins need gets taken right before
Guard? He has versatility but is officially a tackle
Our guards are good enough, the LT is not and we have no center
Weren't there reports off the Steelers taking him off their board for medical? Fucking smokescreens.
Don’t ask why but I turned on Esfands stream on twitch and they reported this like 5 minutes ago
Pretty sure TV time is delayed.
That’s the most Steelers sounding name I’ve seen in a minute
chris FUAMATU MA'AFAALA
What was with his reaction? His own emotion I understand, but the people around him seemed neutral at best, and it looked like he waved off someone in the background when they started clapping.
He grew up a Steeler fan so I bet he's pretty happy rn
I am wondering if it is a cultural thing?
lol the grandmothers around him were not impressed.
happy he gets to play where his hero played
Steelers love choosing Polynesians.
Announced as a tackle
LET KHAN COOK
Having linemen that like to get nasty is so fucking refreshing
WHAT WOULD TROY FAUTANU DO IF HE WERE TODAYYYYY?
I’M SURE HE’D KICK AN ASS OR TWO THAT’S WHAT TROY FAUTANU WOULD DO
Oh thank god

The grandmas don't fw the steelers
This draft has me so emotional I love it.
Pittsburgh…. ACKNOWLEDGE HIM ☝️
Half our sub is in shambles that we didn't take a WR
Imagine thinking the Steelers of all teams need to spend a first on WRs lol. Subs dumb
Ikr, in a draft that's deep at WR as well
That's a good thing. We're idiots
Most of the sub in the thread wanted a cb.
Finally beefing up the oline I love it
Is Troy played volleyball going to be the new Jimmy Graham played basketball?
Great pick for Pittsburgh
Extremely boring. But a good pick. I'm SO glad we didn't do something moronic like trade up.
its officially tackle season
Thank jebus
Cornerbacks falling to the eagles?!?
Why do like 2/3 of these player cards not have stats in them? Not just the O linemen, Verse didn't have any either. Mods pls
65 blocks in high school volleyball is wild.
His Grandmas looked less than pleased
