Last night, former Michigan State and Oregon defensive lineman Derrick Harmon was drafted 21st overall by the Pittsburgh Steelers. During his media calls shortly after the lifechanging moment, he said he was immediately heading over to the hospital to be with his mother, who was on life support, to tell her that he’d been drafted.

Derrick Harmon showed up for work on Friday, eager to get his NFL career started while still coming to terms with the loss of his mother Tiffany Saine, who died shortly after the Pittsburgh Steelers selected the defensive tackle with the 21st overall pick in last month's draft.
