The Pittsburgh Steelers officially selected DL Derrick Harmon in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. In doing so, they addressed the defensive line in the first round for just the first time since 2011. That year, the Steelers selected Cameron Heyward, who is still making the All-Pro List. One can only hope Harmon has such a career, but at least from the start, he will learn from the best.
It doesn’t seem so long ago that the Steelers had a top defensive line with Stephon Tuitt and Javon Hargrave. Tuitt was a second-round selection in 2014, Hargrave a third-round selection in 2016.
