Hodges continues to surprise everyone but Samford coaches

With rookie Devlin Hodges set to make his first NFL start Sunday night when the Steelers travel to Los Angeles to face the Chargers, there's quite a bit of trepidation surrounding the team's chances.

After all, the Steelers are just 1-4 with Ben Roethlisberger and Mason Rudolph starting the first five games.

But Roethlisberger is out for the season with an elbow injury and Rudolph likely will miss this game with a concussion suffered in the third quarter of last Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Ravens.

How are things going to look with a player who not only went undrafted in the spring, but also went unsigned after that?
