Last year, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defensive line wasn’t good enough. Therefore, the team spent its first-round pick this year on Derrick Harmon. Unfortunately, his NFL career got off to a slow start because of a preseason injury. However, he’s been healthy for the last two games, and Steelers defensive coordinator Teryl Austin is happy with what he’s seen from Harmon.

“He’s been good,” Austin said Wednesday via the team’s website. “You can see the growth in him as he starts to round into football shape. He’s a good rusher. He’s slippery. The one interception we got, he tipped that ball that DeShon [Elliott] intercepted.
