The Steelers’ 2025 rookie class is now under contract.
The Steelers’ entire 2025 rookie class is now under contract.
Per a report from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Pittsburgh Steelers have signed 21st overall pick Derrick Harmon to his rookie deal. The contract is four years, $17,973,604, and fully-guaranteed. And like all first-round contracts, it’ll come with a fifth-year option.
Harmon played for the Oregon Ducks in 2024, recording 45 total tackles, five sacks, and two forced fumbles. The 6’4, 313-pound defender had the most quarterback pressures of any college defensive tackle last season, per PFF.
Harmon joins fellow Steelers draftees Kaleb Johnson, Jack Sawyer, Yahya Black, Will Howard, Carson Bruener, and Donte Kent as under-contract players.
The Steelers’ OTAs are scheduled to begin May 27. Training camp is expected to kick off in late July.
