Defensive tackle Derrick Harmon, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, expressed a “bittersweet” sentiment after his selection, as his mother, Tiffany, is on life support. Harmon has been inspired by her resilience through numerous health challenges, including multiple brain surgeries and a stroke during his college years at Michigan State. The Steelers opted for Harmon over a quarterback at No. 21 overall, and his new teammate Cam Heyward acknowledged the emotional weight of the moment in light of Tiffany’s struggles.
