Derrick Harmon will start for Steelers in 2025

The Pittsburgh Steelers had a clear vision of getting stronger on the defensive line entering the 2025 NFL Draft, which led to the team selecting Oregon standout defensive tackle Derrick Harmon in the first round. And while we’ve seen that it is very difficult for Steelers rookies to get immediate starting reps and begin the season No. 1 on the depth chart, that won’t be the case for Harmon. Steelers defensive line coach Karl Dunbar says that Harmon will be the team’s starting left end.

“You can write that,” Dunbar said via Nick Farabaugh.
