Picked 21st by Pittsburgh in the first round, Oregon defensive tackle Derrick Harmon immediately impressed coaches and teammates with his ability and work ethic, earning a starting job in his first pro training camp.
Harmon's mother died on draft night. After being a part-time starter at Michigan State he blossomed with the Ducks, racking up 55 quarterback pressures and five sacks in his junior season, the most pressures in major college football. He signed a 4 year, $17,973,604 contract with the Steelers with a $9.7 million signing bonus, all of it guaranteed.
The MCL sprain means he'll start the season on the IR, but initially the injury looked much worse.
