‘I’m Excited For His Future:’ Cam Heyward Confident In Steelers Rookie Derrick Harmon

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense has a long and storied history. It’s a history that includes great players on the defensive line, from the Steel Curtain spearheaded by Hall of Famer Mean Joe Greene to mainstays like Brett Keisel and Cameron Heyward.

Heyward has had a long career with the Steelers and is now tasked with mentoring 2025 Steelers first-rounder Derrick Harmon. Harmon became the first defensive lineman selected in the first round by the Steelers since Heyward, whom the Steelers drafted out of Ohio State in 2011.

Heyward spoke about Harmon on The Rich Eisen Show, sharing his excitement for what’s to come from the Steelers’ rookie.
