Pauline said, "Fautanu was meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles and Las Vegas Raiders after the workout. The Chicago Bears have also shown an interest in the talented blocker, so keep him on the radar if they trade out if the 9th spot."

According to PFF, Fautanu played in over 900 snaps in back-to-back years and finished with at least a 75 overall grade.
