Steelers sign first-round DT Derrick Harmon

By NFL Premium News May 22, 2025 | 6:40 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers first-round draft pick Derrick Harmon signed his four-year rookie contract, the team announced Thursday.
The Steelers selected the standout Oregon defensive tackle with the 21st overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft last month.
The four-year deal is worth $17,948,806, per Spotrac. It comes with the customary fifth-year option for the team.
“He has Steelers DNA,” coach Mike Tomlin said of Harmon. “For us it starts inside and up front. This is a guy that is capable of dominating that space versus the run and the pass. We are excited about having him. Really excited about getting him in here and getting started.
“There is no substitute for young talent. You don’t have a chance to build a quality defense unless you are stout inside and up front. This is a guy that has an opportunity to learn from the likes of Cam Heyward and put his hand in the pile and be a significant contributor for us for years to come.”
Harmon began his college career at Michigan State and played three seasons for the Spartans before transferring to Oregon. He had five sacks and two fumble recoveries for the Ducks last season.
Harmon has been adjusting since the death of his mother, Tiffany Saine, just hours after he was drafted. Saine sustained a stroke in 2022 and was paralyzed on her left side.
“I’m doing the best I can,” Harmon said during rookie minicamp. “I’m in football. I’m in my element. That keeps my mind off things. I’m still dealing with it. I’m just putting one foot in front of the other.”
