The Pittsburgh Steelers have selected Oregon defensive lineman Derrick Harmon in the first round of the 2025 NFL draft. While Shedeur Sanders and Jaxson Dart were available, the Steelers opted to reinforce their defensive front. However, leading up to the draft, there were medical concerns about Harmon. Omar Khan made it clear that the Steelers feel comfortable with Harmon’s health, though.
“We wouldn’t have picked him unless our medical staff and we were comfortable with it,” Khan said Thursday during the team’s press conference after the pick via the Steelers’ YouTube channel.
The reports were that Harmon is dealing with a shoulder issue.
