After dislocating his kneecap early in his 2024 rookie season, Fautanu bounced back in a major way in Year 2, allowing just two sacks this past season.
Black, selected by the Steelers with the 164th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, recorded 28 combined tackles, two forced fumbles, and one quarterback hit in his rookie year.
