Harmon told reporters Thursday night that he was heading to the hospital to visit his mother Tiffany Saine to tell her that he had been drafted.

The mom of Steelers first round pick Derrick Harmon has died, the team confirmed to KDKA-TV on Friday. The Oregon defensive tackle was drafted by the Steelers on Thursday. But it was a bittersweet victory because as his name was called, his mom was on life support. He said he was going to visit her afterward to share the good news.
