The Pittsburgh Steelers ended the 2024 season on a five-game losing streak. In their Wild Card loss to the Baltimore Ravens, the Steelers really struggled to stop the run, posting one of their worst defensive performances in franchise history. Thus, they made sure to address that area of their roster, selecting Derrick Harmon in the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday.
Speaking to the media after the selection, Mike Tomlin mentioned just how urgent of a need it was. He also spoke about the opportunity Harmon might have.
“Extreme urgency,” Tomlin said.
