The Pittsburgh Steelers have gotten solid early returns from first-round pick Derrick Harmon through two preseason games, but the lights get a little bit brighter in the regular season. The Steelers are hoping Harmon can bolster their defensive line now while being an eventual successor to Cam Heyward, and if NFL.com analyst Dan Parr’s best-case scenario for Harmon comes true, that’s exactly what the Steelers will get.
“The coaching staff set a high bar for Harmon — announcing he would start all the way back in June — but he continues to deliver when the real games begin, adding an extra dose of juice and toughness to the Steelers’ defensive line,” Part writes.
