Derrick Harmon, newly drafted defensive tackle for the New York Giants shared an emotional Mother’s Day post for his late mother, Tiffany Saine. Harmon lost his mother right after the 2025 NFL draft when he was selected by the Giants as the 21st pick in the very first round. Tiffany Saine, Derrick Harmon’s mother, was on life support when the news was announced that he had been selected by New York.
Before being picked by the New York Giants, Derrick Harmon split his college football career with the Michigan State Spartans and the Oregon Ducks. In his senior year for the Oregon Ducks, Harmon managed a total of 45 tackles, including 27 solo tackles and 18 assisted tackles.
“Happy Mother’s Day ma. I didn’t think today would be this hard on me but it’s so bad.” Derrick Harmon captioned his Instagram post, sharing a picture of himself and his mother.
Derrick Harmon will be a valuable addition to the Pittsburgh Steelers who did not too well in the previous NFL season. Last year, the Pittsburgh Steelers finished second in the AFC North after winning ten games and losing seven. The Steelers managed to make it to the Wild Card round to take on the Baltimore Ravens. However, they lost 28-14 and were kicked from the tournament.
