"Not only did the Steelers use their 2025 first-round pick to draft defensive tackle Derrick Harmon, but they also added fellow defensive lineman Yahya Black and outside linebacker Jack Sawyer. And in free agency, the front office signed inside linebacker Malik Harrison and defensive tackle Daniel Ekuale and brought back veteran defensive linemen Dean Lowry and Isaiahh Loudermilk."
""I doubt that I had even gotten in the shower yet [in Baltimore], to be quite honest with you," Tomlin told NFL Network in April. "As you guys can see, [it was a priority] to reestablish physicality and big-man presence." The Steelers also gave up 220 and 124 rushing yards to the Ravens in their 2024 regular-season matchups, but Tomlin and general manager Omar Khan didn't make their offseason additions with only Baltimore in mind."
Mike Tomlin resolved to reshape the Steelers' roster after the team surrendered 299 rushing yards, including 186 to Derrick Henry, in a 28-14 wild-card loss to Baltimore. Tomlin prioritized reestablishing physicality and a big-man presence. The Steelers used their 2025 first-round pick on defensive tackle Derrick Harmon and added Yahya Black and Jack Sawyer. Free-agent signings included Malik Harrison and Daniel Ekuale while Dean Lowry and Isaiahh Loudermilk returned. The front office extended DeShon Elliott and Jaylen Warren and traded for DK Metcalf. Roster moves targeted run defense and the physical nature of the AFC North.
