After missing the first two games, Steelers rookie first-round pick Derrick Harmon made a successful NFL debut against the Patriots. Though they had him on a pitch count, he didn’t seem slow to warm up to the action. Now over his injury, he should quickly ramp up his activity and provide a much-needed presence in the defensive trenches.
Back in training camp, Cam Heyward said he felt personally responsible for Harmon’s maturation. The Steelers hadn’t drafted a defensive lineman in the first round before Harmon since Heyward back in 2011, and he wants to make sure Pittsburgh is in good hands after he retires.
