The Pittsburgh Steelers tend to show favoritism towards the Ohio State Buckeyes in the draft, and it's very clear that they did here, with both Will Howard and Jack Sawyer being allowed to carry their collegiate numbers over to the NFL. Ok, just kidding, but that is a nice omen from the equipment staff. 

As for Derrick Harmon, he will now wear the number 99 jersey that was last occupied by Larry Ogunjobi, who the Steelers let walk in free agency. The number 55 jersey Harmon wore for Oregion is currently occupied by LB Cole Holcomb, whom the team is excited to get back after missing the last season and a half with a knee injury. 

Now you know who is who when things get rolling this weekend.
