The Pittsburgh Steelers selected or defensive attitude tackle Derrick Harmon as their 21st break up in the number one labialize of the NFL Draft on Thursday. The 21-year-old rushed to the hospital from Lambeau Field to inform his mother, Tiffany Saine, about his dream day. She passed away shortly after he met her, Steelers insider Gerry Dulac reported on Friday.
Harmon's mother was on life support, he revealed after NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced him as the Steelers' newest member. The star DT had canceled some of his pre-draft visits with teams to stay with her over the last few weeks.
After the draft pick, Harmon said, "It was a little bittersweet. My mom wasn't with me, she's at the hospital right now on life support. That was a little bittersweet man, because she worked as hard just as me to get to this moment, but it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so like I said, I'm very excited."
“She is the reason why I am here. She is the one that did everything for me up to this point. I love you, mom. Everything I do is for you. I am forever grateful,” he added.
Tiffany Saine suffered a stroke when Harmon was in his freshman year. He then played for Michigan State. She was hospitalized and paralyzed on her left side.
The Steelers' DT's mom traveled to the West Coast to see him play with Oregon last year. In that particular game, he recorded five sacks and 45 stops.
