The Pittsburgh Steelers had to wait until Week 3 to take their shiny new toy out of the box, but first-round DT Derrick Harmon finally made his debut against the New England Patriots. All considered, it was a pretty impressive performance, and one that gives hope that he provide a real boost to the unit in his rookie season.
Coaches cautioned that Harmon would see limited snaps if he played as he works his way back into football conditioning. Whether it was game circumstance with 74 defensive snaps for the team, or he just looked better than expected early in the game, he played 35 snaps.
