Can Steelers get YEAR 2 LEAPS from Derrick Harmon, Jack Sawyer, Yahya Black & Will Howard?

from Post-Gazette Sports Network: Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates, Penguins and more · host Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

On the Friday edition of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel and Edgar Snyder & Associates, the Post-Gazette's Adam Bittner and Christopher Carter ponder which members of the team's 2025 NFL draft class are capable of making Year 2 leaps in performance. Can Derrick Harmon raise the high bar from his rookie season? And possibly pick of the mantle of leadership from fellow defensive lineman Cam Heyward? Will Kaleb Johnson be able to bounce back and find his way at running back next to Rico Dowdle and Jaylen Warren? And where does Jack Sawyer fit within the crowded outside linebacker group that also includes T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith and Nick Herbig? Our duo tackles those questions, then considers the future of other Day 3 picks. Can Yahya Black prove that he is more than quality depth along the defensive line? Must Will Howard prove himself a capable backup to Aaron Rodgers during the exhibition schedule? And how much pressure is on seventh-round picks Donte Kent and Carson Bruener with a large rookie class coming in? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
