The Pittsburgh Steelers finally got their first look at prized rookie first-round pick Derrick Harmon in regular-season action, and the former Oregon standout certainly didn’t disappoint.
Harmon gave the Steelers a significant boost along the defensive line in his debut, playing 35 snaps and recording his first NFL sack. He helped shore up the run defense, too, as the Steelers held Patriots running backs to just 74 rushing yards on 22 carries, just 3.6 yards per tote.
Now that he’s back healthy, the defensive line could start to look like what the Steelers envisioned coming into the year.
