Devlin Hodges is 6’1”. He weights 210 pounds, at least according to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ website. He went to a small school, many teams likely may not have even seen his tape coming out of the draft, perhaps only knowing him as the quarterback who broke Steve McNair’s FCS passing yardage record.
Yet only two teams brought him in for their rookie minicamp on an invitation basis. The Steelers were his second rookie minicamp, after he went undrafted. They signed him, yes. They played him a lot in the preseason, under the circumstances; that’s also true.
