‘Two Studs’: Chris Hoke High On Rookie Duo On Steelers’ D-Line

After investing heavily in the defensive line this offseason via the 2025 NFL Draft, things are looking very positive for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the trenches on that side of the football.

Rookies Derrick Harmon and Yahya Black, first- and fifth-round picks, respectively, have made some waves so far in training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe. Black has been all over the place, batting down passes at the line of scrimmage, playing up and down the front, and has generated a great deal of attention for his hustling.

As for Harmon, he just looks like the foundational piece moving forward along the defensive line for the Steelers, and is starting to come on strong as a pass rusher for the Black and Gold.
