Devlin Hodges: Path From Undrafted To Starting ‘Fits Who I Am’

It’s been a long journey from Milan to Minsk for Devlin Hodges. The undersized quarterback ended up playing his college ball at an FCS school, where he would go on to break the record for the most passing yards thrown in a career. He proceeded to go undrafted, and then unsigned, though he received an invitation by the Pittsburgh Steelers to participate in their rookie minicamp.

That was the point at which he began proving himself week in and week out to anyone that mattered. Over the course of three days, he outperformed first-year Brogan Roback, prompting the team to waive him and instead sign Hodges to the 90-man roster.
