Derrick Harmon is the latest defensive tackle the Pittsburgh Steelers have taken in the first round of the NFL Draft. He’s following in the footsteps of giants, players like Mean Joe Greene taken in 1969 and Casey Hampton in 2001. Those linemen are part of a Super Bowl-winning legacy in Pittsburgh, a legacy of hard work and doing what’s best for the Steelers every time they stepped on the field.
The Steelers made a concerted effort to reestablish a physical identity via the 2025 NFL Draft. Picking Derrick Harmon was the first step in that. And Casey Hampton thinks that Harmon is stepping into the right place.
