With the news that rookie first-round pick Derrick Harmon injured his knee and was carted to the locker room Thursday night in the preseason finale against the Carolina Panthers, the attention shifted quickly to fellow Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookie defensive lineman Yahya Black.
The Iowa product didn’t disappoint in the second half, recording his first sack in the NFL, and later having a hand in another sack and fumble by the Panthers, giving the Steelers the football.
On Black’s first sack, he showed off some good hand usage and power, beating the blocker clearly to get to Panthers’ quarterback Bryce Perkins, creating splash for Pittsburgh.
