The mother of Steelers first-round draft pick Derrick Harmon has died.
Harmon was drafted by the team Thursday night with the 21st overall pick. Shortly after he was selected, Harmon’s mother, Tiffany Saine, died. Saine suffered a stroke in 2022 and was on life-support when her son was drafted. Harmon credited his mom with teaching him resilience as she underwent several brain surgeries throughout her life.
Steelers Owner Art Rooney II released a statement saying that they will support Harmon and his family as they navigate this tough time, and hopes that “he finds comfort in the love and support from the organization and Steelers fans around the world.”
