Cam Heyward names Steelers rookie who will make biggest impact in 2025

When the Pittsburgh Steelers selected Derrick Harmon in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft this past April, it felt like a very safe pick for the team. As productive as Harmon was during his final collegiate season at Oregon, this pick seemed to fly under the radar with all of the splash moves the Steelers have made for big-name players. However, Steelers veteran Cam Heyward has made it clear that he has high expectations for the rookie.

Derrick Harmon checks a lot of boxes.

• Age: 21 u2705
• Size: 6’6 (88%), 322lbs (90%) u2705
• Athlete: 4.
