According to NBC Sports, Harmon had 45 tackles, 10 tackes for loss, five sacks and two forced fumbles while playing for the Oregon Ducks last season.
Harmon is 6 feet 5 inches tall and weighs around 313 pounds.
Our partners at SteelersNOW.com said he is comparable to Cameron Heyward.
Harmon was very emotional and seemed to choke back tears when he spoke to Pittsburgh reporters over the phone Thursday night. He said his mother is on life support at the hospital, and he was headed straight there to tell her he got drafted.
