It’s still very early in the 2025 season, and the impact has been limited, but four Pittsburgh Steelers rookies are looking rather good.
Good enough, at least, to crack the early All-Rookie team from The Athletic’s Dane Brugler Wednesday morning.
He’s played just two NFL games, but first-round pick Derrick Harmon has been as advertised. Fellow defensive lineman and fifth-round pick Yahya Black is up there, too. So is fourth-round pick Jack Sawyer, who has stepped up and been a nice depth piece at outside linebacker. The fourth rookie in that mix? It’s a bit unexpected, but rookie seventh-round pick Carson Bruener earned praise from Brugler due to his work on special teams.
