‘I Was In The NFL At Oregon:’ Heavy College Demands Prepared Harmon For Pittsburgh

From college to the NFL, every rookie faces a learning curve. For first-round defensive lineman Derrick Harmon, his won’t be that steep. Speaking to reporters during Friday’s rookie minicamp, Harmon is confident his time at Oregon has him prepared.

“I’m coming from Oregon,” Harmon said in audio provided by 93.7 The Fan. “And they throw everything at us. I was in the NFL at Oregon. I feel like I’m right here. So they prepare us at Oregon very well for this type pace.”

After spending three years at Michigan State, Harmon transferred to Oregon for the 2024 season.
