When Josh Dobbs was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft, the QB room in the Steel City was a bit, well, complicated. Long-time starter Ben Roethlisberger was nearing the tail end of his career, and the Steelers had former Oklahoma QB and journeyman backup Landy Jones already on the roster.
The situation got more complicated the next season, when the Steelers drafted Mason Rudolph out of Oklahoma State, also in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft. The quarterbacks’ room had clearly become overcrowded, and Dobbs was traded to the Jaguars for a 5th-round pick.
