Josh Dobbs' wild 24 hours -- engineering school graduation, first Steelers practice

PITTSBURGH -- Catch Josh Dobbs if you can.

The rookie quarterback is trying to pull off one impressive day with a multistate merge of football and academics.

Dobbs, the Pittsburgh Steelers' fourth-round pick, will spend Thursday accepting his aerospace engineering degree at the University of Tennessee's Tickle College of Engineering undergraduate commencement.

After celebrating with family and friends, Dobbs will head to the Knoxville, Tennessee, regional airport for a flight to Pittsburgh that arrives around midnight, according to a Dobbs rep.

About 10 hours after that, he'll be throwing his first passes as a Steeler, as part of rookie minicamp that kicks off at 10:25 a.
