Devlin Hodges

Hodges appeared in one preseason game this year, throwing for 85 yards and an interception versus the Chargers. His competition for the backup gig in Los Angeles, Bryce Perkins, played the entirety of the Rams' second preseason game. Perkins topped 200 yards through the air, scored twice, and added 41 yards on the ground. With Perkins showing a ceiling that Hodges simply couldn't match, Hodges' fate was sealed. He'll look to sign with someone as a practice squad passer before the start of the season.

Known as "Duck," Hodges appeared in eight games, starting six, for the Steelers in 2019, going 3-3 on the back of the Pittsburgh defense. Hodges completed 62.5% of his passes at 6.6 yards per attempt with a 5:8 TD:INT mark. He averaged 132.9 passing yards per game and absorbed 15 sacks. Hodges won't be the one pushing Jared Goff in camp next summer. The Rams also signed DB Jake Gervase to a reserve/future deal.

Hodges lost his 53-man roster spot to Josh Dobbs over the weekend, but he's essentially back as the No. 4 quarterback. Hodges proved last season that he's not much of an NFL passer.

“If any pick makes sense at any time, then of course we’ll make those picks,” Colbert said during his pre-draft call with media Monday. Along with Ben Roethlisberger, Devlin Hodges, and Mason Rudolph — all three who started at one point or another last year — the Steelers also added former Broncos first-rounder Paxton Lynch last September and J.T. Barrett in Week 17. Given the team's offensive struggles without Roethlisberger throughout the season, it would be wise for the organization to add another (viable) body to that room.
