The Pittsburgh Steelers had been linked to Oregon DL Derrick Harmon throughout the pre-draft process, and with the 21st pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Steelers landed Harmon. A player who models his game after Cameron Heyward, Mike Tomlin said Harmon has “Steeler DNA.”
“Like Omar said, he has Steeler DNA. For us, it starts inside and up front, and this is a guy that’s capable of dominating that space against the run and the pass,” Tomlin said in a press conference via the team’s YouTube channel after the pick was made.
Tomlin said that Harmon impressed them in every step of the process.
