Veteran quarterback Josh Dobbs is flying high after leading the Minnesota Vikings to victory over the Atlanta Falcons, and he received another reason to smile on Monday.
Dobbs, whose nickname is the "Passtronaut," received a congratulatory message from the NASA Research Center:
NASA's Glenn Research Center @NASAglennCongratulations <a href="https://twitter.com/josh_dobbs1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@josh_dobbs1</a> on yesterday's big win! Looks like you rock(et) on and off the field. We heard you've even got a new nickname, the "Passtronaut." If the suit fits, wear it.ud83dude80 <a href="https://t.co/Pah3MuQsWs">pic.twitter.com/Pah3MuQsWs</a>
Dobbs graduated from Tennessee with a degree in aerospace engineering, so if he wasn't playing football he would be eligible to be an astronaut or a rocket scientist.
