Pittsburgh Steelers Announce Derrick Harmon Will Wear No. 99

Pittsburgh Steelers first-round draft pick Derrick Harmon will wear No. 99, a jersey number previously worn by Larry Ogunjobi and most famously by Brett Keisel, a two-time Super Bowl champion and fan favorite. Harmon, a standout defensive tackle from Oregon, was selected 21st overall and is expected to bolster the Steelers' defensive line, potentially serving as a long-term building block for the team after the Cameron Heyward era. Despite pre-draft medical concerns involving a shoulder injury, Harmon has not missed a game in his college career and has been praised by analysts for his fit in Pittsburgh’s defense. The No. 99 jersey carries significant history and expectations in Pittsburgh, and Harmon is seen as ready to take on the mantle as a key piece of the defense's future.
