The Pittsburgh Steelers wanted to be more physical up front in 2025. In two of their draft choices — Derrick Harmon and Yahya Black — the Steelers got their wish. There are high expectations for those two, but they’re starting to be fulfilled, according to assistant general manager Andy Weidl.
“We like what we saw from Derrick last week. We thought he impacted the game with his rushes. We thought he had pressures with his pass rush. We think he’s had a really good camp, his explosiveness, his length, his hands. He’s always working his hand stability, escape blocks in both phases,” Weidl said about Harmon via transcript provided by the team.
