Devlin “Duck” Hodges might be one of the most interesting figures in recent Pittsburgh Steelers history. An undrafted rookie QB in 2019, Hodges got thrust into the starting role after Ben Roethlisberger and Mason Rudolph went down with injuries. Rudolph became the starter again once he was healthy, but that wasn’t the end for Hodges. He’d eventually come in to replace Rudolph in the middle of the Steelers’ Week 12 game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
“I think Cincinnati was playing a rookie quarterback that game because someone was hurt,” Hodges said Tuesday on the Footbahlin’ with Ben Roethlisberger podcast.
